Meet Emily
Hi, I'm Emily! I'm a Certified Interior Decorator who has been dreaming of this career since I was old enough to answer the question, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’
Now, I'm turning that lifelong passion into a reality. I'm here to help you find rhythm, style, and peace in your home. My philosophy? No space is too small. I thrive on maximizing every square inch of a home to make it feel expansive and intentional.
My own style is an evolving mix of old-world soul and modern lines; I love pairing unique vintage finds with crisp, contemporary design.
From 3 Bedrooms to NYC Living
As a recent transplant to New York City, I personally navigated the transition to a small space—downsizing from a three-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment with my husband and our fur baby. This was our 5th move in 6 years! I know firsthand the challenges of urban living and designing for different spaces and how to transform a single room into a multifunctional space.
The Method Behind the Magic
I began my career as a manufacturing engineer and manager before transitioning into the wedding and event industry. This means that when you work with Maple & Loft, you're getting a design process that is organized, streamlined, and efficient. I bring an engineer's precision to an artist's vision.
The Maple & Loft Philosophy
We draw inspiration from the effortless harmony of the natural world, where textures, colors, and patterns work together seamlessly. By bringing these principles indoors, we design spaces that quiet the noise of everyday life and clear your mental clutter—allowing you to relax, recharge, and find new inspiration.
Why Maple & Loft?
My goal is to deliver elevated designs that actually work with your real life. I specialize in maximizing both small footprints and savvy budgets. By sourcing budget-conscious options and rental-friendly upgrades, I make high-end design feel achievable.
The Hand-off: You'll receive a detailed design package and a step-by-step implementation guide. You can easily order and install everything yourself, skipping the stress of “where does this go?” and the “what should I order?” guesswork.
I save you time & money; you get the home of your dreams.
