RID, NCIDQ, WELL AP, Fitwel Ambassador, LEED GA
Senior Associate, Interiors Studio Leader
With a keen eye for timeless design and aesthetics, Emily has a talent for creating vibrant and functional workplaces for some of our firm’s most valued corporate clients. With more than a decade of experience at Corgan, Emily is a native of Chicago, and her leadership skills are integral to growing our presence in the Chicago interiors market. “I love Chicago and am thrilled Corgan will put their stamp on this city known for interior design and its long history of inspiring architecture.”
As a project manager, Emily’s organizational skills and attention to detail keep projects on track with scheduling, coordinating teams, and confirming our client’s objectives are met at each phase of the design process. As an award-winning Fitwel Ambassador with both LEED and WELL Credentials, Emily brings a unique perspective and expertise in designing sustainable and healthy environments.
Inspired by our client’s stories and philosophy, she is proud of her team’s most recent achievement -- a four-year project for State Street, designing twenty floors of the One Congress office tower in downtown Boston, creating a future-forward hybrid workplace for its globally connected workforce reflecting the company’s brand, culture, and identity. “State Street was a wonderful client to work with and the collaborative efforts between our Chicago, New York, and Dallas offices incorporated the talents of many incredible people from Corgan.”
When she’s not running projects, she runs races to stay fit, participating in Chicago’s 5 and 10Ks. She is also an avid explorer and enjoys wandering through the city famous for its museums, art, and inspirational design.
