Emma is a creative living in Massachusetts whose goal is putting her dance, visual merchandising, and home management and organization background to use through the study of interior architecture.

In 2013, Emma graduated from Connecticut College with a degree in Literature and Dance. Storytelling through both movement and words inspired her to pursue a career in visual merchandising, where she created visual displays that captured the interest of shoppers, and communicated a story about the identity of a brand.

After working as a flagship visual merchandiser, Emma applied her visual merchandising skills in a private sphere by organizing single home residences and overseeing various projects executed within client’s Boston and Cambridge estates.

In the process of managing client projects and home organization tasks, Emma earned a certificate in Interior Architecture at Boston Architectural College.

Although the certificate program familiarized Emma with new skills, she feels that she has merely scratched the surface of what she is interested in learning.  She hopes to learn the history and context of design in addition to materials, methods, and drafting software.

More specifically, Emma would like to explore the intersection between home interior design and the development of the feminist movement in the United States, specifically through the lens of kitchens and shared living spaces in single family homes.
