“I draw inspiration from edgy design trends that marry clean and simple design with organic and earthy elements.”

Emily Christiansen, IIDA

senior associate, project manager 2

Emily has experience in interior architecture and project management for corporate, hospitality, retail, and multi-family housing projects. With hospitality and bartending experience, she designs environments that function efficiently for the employees and ownership, while also providing complete hospitality experiences that keep clients coming back for more.

Emily has an expertise in meme generation, flawless prank execution, and is known for uncanny impersonations. These qualities make her one of the most distracting (though entertaining) elements in the office. It’s likely the rest of the team is more productive when she has a day off.

“Kennay Farms Distilling in Rochelle, IL. It was a perfect storm of passionate and motivated owners, skilled and efficient contractors, and senses of humor that could compete with top comedic performers. This project taught me how to collaborate with a team to establish design solutions on the fly and created lifelong friendships.”
