History
origins
In the Fall of 2020, at the age of 38, our founder began to feel the effects of ALS, the terminal disease that would take her life two years later. Having lived a life full of love, art, family, adventure, design & travel she chose to spend her final years reflecting with gratitude on the memories & experiences that shaped her time in this world. To occupy her mind, she and her family took on the creative project of turning those memories into a brand: Carson Quay.
our name
Our world is full of boundaries, visible & invisible. Life’s greatest moments come when we push through them to become something new. Becoming a friend, a graduate, an athlete, an artist, a traveler, these are the great experiences of our world, but the best of any is to become a mother. Our founder became a mother to two beautiful children and our brand name was born of theirs: Carson & Quay.
Our Mark
Our founder was obsessed with design. Architecture, printmaking, fabric, décor, art, it all inspired her. She made creativity her profession by working with Museums, Designers, Galleries & Fashion Houses around the world. Her hobbies included a love of watercolor and in her final creative act she designed our mark in watercolor pen: the written name of her children in a four sided diamond, boundaries being pushed on all sides.
