Seth Willison

Founder & CEO, Licensed Contractor, Wears Swim Shorts for Workouts

Seth is a native of South Mississippi, a place where the people and the culture are endeared to him forever.  Raised his entire life in Stone County, he has pursued careers in education, the military, and finally in architecture.  He holds a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Southern Mississippi and a Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Colorado Denver. He has also received a Certificate of Traditional and Classical Design from the Institute of Classical Art & Architecture Rocky Mountain chapter through the University of Colorado’s traditional and classical design curriculum.  He continued to take courses in classical design through the ICAA Southern California chapter under the tutelage of very skilled and attentive teachers. His varied career and education experiences have taken him from Mississippi, to Colorado, to California and around the world.  The University of Colorado's Design Build Bluff program honed his skills and career vision for Willison Timberworks Design Build.  In the Design Build Bluff program he was part of a talented team of directors and students that designed and built a residence, called Hozho House, for a Diné family in the Dinétah in Southeast Utah. His first job in architecture, after his time in Colorado, was at KAA Design Group in Los Angeles, California with Even's Architects, specializing in traditional and classical design.  At KAA, with such a talented and capable team, his vision for residential architecture was fostered, refined, and launched. 

Throughout the years from Mississippi to California and back to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, through the help of dedicated teachers, employers, friends, and colleagues, Seth has developed the ideas, philosophies, and designs that have led to Willison Timberworks Design Build. He hopes that you find his ideas and designs inspiring, fresh, and beautiful.
