Chelsea Rousso was born in Lower Burrell, Pennsylvania then moved to New York, New York, and lives and works in Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida. Rousso received a BFA from Pratt Institute in Fashion Design (1982) and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art from Goddard College (2010).

Following her designing career, Rousso shared her knowledge and experience with fashion students at several colleges in South Florida including The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and Miami Dade College. She teaches fashion and glass at her private studio in South Florida to aspiring fashion creators.
Rousso now combines her love of fashion and fused glass into a unique form of wearable glass including corsets, masks, and swimwear called “glasskinis”.
