Hi there, I’m Emily! I work as a licensed Architect and Project Manager at Studio+’s Traverse City office. I am originally from Traverse City, and I feel privileged to be a part of a team that is dedicated to serving and contributing to the growth of this community.

I started my career in the A+D industry at Michigan State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design. During my time there, I gained experience working for the University’s in-house Infrastructure and Design Department. This experience fueled my desire to further my education and broaden my skill set. As a result, I pursued my Master of Architecture with a specialization in Urban Sustainability from the University of Oregon.

Before joining Studio+, I gained valuable experience working on a variety of project types, including prototype development for national retailers, multi-use high/mid-rises in Seattle, and single-family homes in Northern Michigan. Regardless of the project, my motivation stems from my passion for cultivating strong working relationships while creating and constructing spaces that unite people and enhance their daily lives.

When I’m not in the studio, you can find me exploring backroads and hiking trails with my dog, Ruca, and likely a book and trail beer in my pack.
