ABOUT BRITT
With a sales career spent supporting companies in their start-up phase - Garden and Gun, Everything But The House and most recently, SB. Sarah Bartholomew - Brittney has always been attracted to the ground floor – the beginning, where the story starts. And what better story to tell next than one of artisans, designers, and printmakers who are putting their story down on cloth? Combining her sales experience with her love of design, she is thrilled to open the first-story doors of The Lot.
On a personal level (and it’s always personal with Britt), she’s the girl who gets in the car with a regular mug. Coffee stain is a part of her color wheel. A young soul who desires old things, she is always on the hunt and has a place among the sifters and thrifters in a quest for lovely vintage and antiquity. Known as a collector, Brittney’s homes have been featured in Southern Living, Architectural Digest and Better Homes & Gardens. When she isn’t reading, she’s…actually, she’s always reading. Her favorite things right now: Vintage Diane Freis dresses, and anything with strawberries.
ABOUT BROOKS
Brooks founded The Design Social Studio after working for Moore & Giles for 12 years—first, heading up their Marketing department then leading the creative direction for leather design as their VP of Product Design and Merchandising. It was there that her passion for design, travel and storytelling truly flourished and became an essential component of her future career path.
An unbridled dreamer when it comes to merchandising and event design, she dove headfirst into creating more imaginative and engaging ways for interior designers and shelter editors to experience our luxurious leather collections.
Along the way, she was fortunate to connect with a number of very talented textile and wallpaper designers whose commitment to craft and artistry was something she deeply respected and admired.
In 2019, she founded The Design Social Pop-up to bring sourcing to a community level and offer up more inspiring opportunities for designers and editors to interact with the artisans and creatives behind her favorite textile, wall covering and home furnishing brands. In August 2020, she unveiled The Design Social Studio: a boutique representation business for the Southeast. Working with a variety of beautifully crafted brands that inspire her daily is a dream come true and an opportunity to excel at what she enjoys the most: building community, sharing stories and connecting creatives within the interior design community.
