Webster Wilson was born and raised in West Cornwall, Connecticut. While at the University of Vermont (B.A. 1994), Wilson was active in the arts and pursued various media and exhibited in several shows. Wilson moved west in 1995 to pursue a career in architecture in Seattle. At the University of Washington (M.Arch, 1999) he was active as a graduate student assistant in the woodshop and developed an interest in materials, assemblies and an attention to detail.
