Emma was born in Silver Springs, Maryland, and was raised in Caldwell, Idaho. She spent six years in Seattle during and after college, before ultimately returning back to the beautiful Treasure Valley. Originally aspiring to design movie sets, Emma was drawn to the collaborative nature of architectural design and the profound impact that well-crafted interior spaces have on daily life. She holds a B.F.A. in Interior Architecture from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle.
Emma views interior design as the user interface of a building, bringing personality and accessibility to its function. Recognizing that people spend most of their lives indoors, she is passionate about creating interiors that significantly enhance the quality of life for those who work and live within them. Her skills include space planning, finish selection, product sourcing, and presentations. Emma's interests encompass accessible design, as well as health, safety, and wellness, which drive her commitment to creating thoughtful and impactful interior environments.
Outside of work, you can find Emma channeling her creativity through her favorite hobbies: getting artistic with oil painting, crocheting cozy designs, and knitting.
