About Us

You could say I've known I was supposed to be an interior designer from a very early age - that I was born to design and live and breathe it. My approach to design is always centered around the client first -- whether it be a young family, a retired couple looking for a fresh start to a new chapter in their lives, or a single bachelor or bachelorette who wants a cool space to entertain. I have a unique connection with my clients that translates to a highly personal (and fun!) experience designing. You should walk in through your front door and smile, not just because your space is beautiful and functional, but most importantly because it exudes YOU.

Emily's design sense is absolutely amazing. After lots of searching, I found some of her previous work and knew I'd found my match. Emily has a deep knowledge of the manufacturers that meshed with my style. She did a great job of giving me the rainbow look I wanted while keeping the rooms from looking like a cacophonous jumble :). Additionally, she designed several pieces of custom furniture like the bar and fireplace surround that turned out fantastic. I'm absolutely thrilled with the final product!

Comment from High Contrast Design House:

Thanks so much! You are a dream client and I hope to do so much more with you.

Emily is a talented designer that brings a unique touch to any space. We have worked with Emily on commercial projects with often very different feels and concepts, and she is consistently able to deliver interior design that stands out and reflects our personality. She worked with us on 9 projects between August 2016 and now, and was able to work with us to deliver projects within tight timelines and budgets. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Emily did an amazing job on two luxury apartments for me downtown. She got pieces that enhance my own aesthetic at prices I couldn’t get anywhere else. I highly recommend her!

Thanks so much, Amir! Working with you was a complete pleasure.

Emily is a fantastic designer who is highly creative and resourceful while staying very tuned in and supportive of our ideas and taste. She helped us with the entire house and we couldn't be happier with the way everything came together, the quality and comfort of the pieces and the way that this truly feels like our home. On top of all that she's a blast to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to call her again.

Thanks so much, Wendi. The feeling is definitely mutual - you're a blast to work with too!

She's the best. We've used her for several of our projects. Not only does she have great taste, an amazing eye for timeless pieces, but she's also great at helping husband and wife come to a consensus with two opposing view points on a particular style or idea. This ability is unique and often overlooked when searching for the right designer.

Commented: Love the color combinationHi there! Unfortunately the paint color was existing, but if you like it I would try a warm grey, like Benjamin Moore's Abalone or Silver Fox. Good luck!

Commented: chiar brand?Hi Angela, Unfortunately that particular room was staged for the photo shoot, so there are no other photos. BUT I have tons of ideas for kids' rooms and I also design remotely - technology makes it so...
