Catherine
Tucker and Jessica Donald met in 1997 as Interior Design students at Auburn
University. They became fast friends
while pulling all-nighters in the design workrooms of Spidle Hall and bonding
over their love of classic interiors.
After
college, their lives took them to Nashville, Birmingham, New Orleans and
Washington, DC. Catherine worked as an interior designer focusing on Healthcare, Educational and Commercial
design with Earl Swensson Associates in Nashville, Business Interiors and
Office Environments in Birmingham.
Jessica managed residential projects at Holden & Dupuy in New
Orleans and Thomas Pheasant, Inc. in Washington, DC before taking a job as a
personal assistant.
Catherine
favors French antiques and calming palettes, while Jessica loves a pop of color
and mixing old with new. Together, they
bring a fresh perspective to creating livable interiors that stand the test of
time.
Now
both living in Birmingham, these two friends formed
Parrish Watson to share their unique aesthetic through interior design, custom pillows and furniture and decorative
objects.
Parrish Watson is named for Catherine and Jessica’s first born children, Anne Parrish and John Watson.
