Who Is This Guy?

Isaac B Watson is a man of many hats. In addition to a full-time job in academic marketing and communications, he serves as Co-Chair of I Heart Art: Portland—a collaborative pilot project between Etsy, Pacific Northwest College of Art and Museum of Contemporary Craft. In his spare time, he upcycles broken camera parts into jewelry as Focal Length Designs.

A self-prescribed design nerd, typography critic, camera buff and grammar guru, he is also a culinary hobbyist and enjoys writing when he can find the time. Isaac was born and raised in the Portland area, but spent 2002–2004 abroad in France and Belgium, lending a unique European flair to his outlook on life. With a passion for social engagement, collaboration and shared success, he believes strongly that the best way to balance our commodity-driven culture is to contribute to the community through the open exchange of knowledge, ideas and information.
