Professionally, Emily has 9 years of experience working on projects in education, civic and residential architecture in the United States and 4 years of retail planning and design development in the Philippines.  The work has been recognized with 14 design awards, most notably a National AIA Interior award for Exeter Schools which launched an unknown practice into the national spotlight.

Emily has lead on-site construction administration services for several projects in both Missouri and Texas.  Witnessing projects materialize onsite is both a rewarding and enlightening experience.   Technically, for the past 9 years she has developed proficient skills using BIM modeling to convey projects from schematic design through construction documents utilizing both SketchUp and ArchiCAD.   These projects have utilized the advantages of 3d modeling throughout the design process including: site specific sun studies, contextual formal studies, explorations in form, material, color, and detail  branching into integrated project delivery methods.


Her professional objective is to contribute to an architecture based on simple ideas and an explorative process.  Architecture should not require extraneous explanations but should engage its cultural, environmental, and contextual place.  Good design is essential.  It should be thoughtful of place, charming, and enriching to all who encounter it.
