ABOUT Emily
Whether the project is a blank canvas or a complete restoration, Emily brings to the table over 15 years of experience, unparalleled personal attention, and a meticulous eye for detail to deliver spaces rich with style, creativity, and individuality. Emily sets herself apart from other designers by pairing her natural design talent with a comprehensive understanding of the construction process. She can both create a detailed, unique design plan, and oversee a project’s implementation to completion.
For any size project, Emily combines a fresh, energetic approach with a detailed, organized strategy that is as much intuition as it is formal training. Renowned for her fresh take on color inspiration and her modern chic vibe, she believes that a home is for living in, and the designer’s foremost job is to provide solutions for a client’s needs, wishes, and dreams. Accordingly, Emily keeps both her company and number of active projects small, thus ensuring her commitment to every home she creates.
Emily holds a BA in Art History from UC Santa Barbara, she completed UCLA’s prestigious interior design ArcID program, and she is also an NCIDQ accredited professional. Emily was selected by Town & Country Magazine as one of LA’s elite designers and her work is regularly featured nationally in print and online publications. Emily currently lives in Pasadena and can usually be found adventuring outdoors with her husband and two very active boys.
PHILOSOPHY
Things we believe in…
Changing your space can change your life. Truly.
Authenticity. Your space should be a reflection of you, not your designer.
Your home should be your sanctuary. Whether it’s an RV or a grand estate, you should love your environment and feel great in your space.
Target steals can look great next to spendy splurges.
Design is in the details. And it’s almost all details.
Everyone deserves a healthy, functional, and inspired space.
Healthy, green, and sustainable design can look amazing.
Act with integrity even when no one is watching.
Listening, patience, understanding, and open dialogue.
Exceeding expectations, going the extra mile, and taking our work seriously.
