Emily was born and raised in Orange County, Va. Emily has always enjoyed designing and rearranging spaces from an early age. But it wasn’t until her second year of community college that she made the decision to go into the interior design field. Emily then went on to attend Liberty University where she received her B.S. in Interior Design. After graduation, Emily moved to Northern Virginia, where she began working as a kitchen and bath designer in Falls Church.

Emily’s favorite part of her work is when she is putting together layouts and designs in Chief Architect, as that is when she feels her most creative.

Outside of work you can find Emily at the gym, playing volleyball, trying new restaurants, or cheffing it up at home!
