      A MONTHLY GLIMPSE INSIDE THE HOMES
      AND STUDIOS OF MINTED'S ARTISTS.
      text by Anna Kocharian
      Meet BRANDY BROWN-BERGQUIST, the
      creative force behind Marabou Design, and
      Minted + domino’s featured monthly artist!

      After the birth of her daughter in 2007, Pacific
      Northwest native Brandy Brown-Bergquist, found
      herself in need of a modern and original note set
      to announce the big news. With a background in
      art history and graphic design from The Art
      Institute of Seattle, she set out to create a
      stationery line that complemented her eclectic
      aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from her travels
      abroad, she taught herself the essentials and let
      her passions take on wings of their own. Today,
      the stylist and DIY lover, spends her days
      celebrating life’s many special occasions and
      indulging in any excuse to bake a cake. She
      talks with us about the importance of organization and the key to maintaining a beautiful home.

      Where do you feel most inspired?
      My daughter is a huge source of inspiration
      for me, along with any life event that goes
      on around her. Life is a series of
      inspirations, which can strike at any
      moment. I strive to garner these moments. Whether it’s derived from nature, life, or design, there’s always an opportunity to decorate and create.
      2
      How would you describe your
      personal style?

      The words eclectic and contemporary
      come to mind. I love clean lines, simple
      shapes, and natural materials. I often
      look to flea markets, estate sales, and
      modern boutiques for such finds and
      anything that promotes function.
      3
      What makes a home beautiful?
      Organization. Without a doubt.
      Function and good form encourages
      clarity and positive energy. When it
      comes to being a mom, you have to
      maintain some form of organization.

      What’s your most prized possession??
      A few come to mind, namely from my antique
      mirror collection. My favorite is a 19th century
      double gilded mirror from an antique store in
      Seattle. It’s absolutely stunning.
      5
      On what items do you scrimp?
      I’m always on the hunt for hidden treasures,
      especially when I’m on the East Coast. I have
      over 25 floral vases, none of which I have
      paid more than $25. They are gorgeous
      and finely crafted.
      6
      On what do you splurge?
      My number one splurge: bed linens. You
      can’t go wrong with a 100% Egyptian cotton
      set in all white. I love it!
