Emily Maley
I am a Kitchen and Bath Designer with over three years of experience in the field. My role involves collaborating closely with clients to understand their goals, working within set budgets, and creating detailed floorplans and 3D renderings that bring their vision to life. Clear and consistent communication is a top priority for me. I work diligently to ensure that clients, contractors, and vendors are aligned throughout each phase of the project. I also manage timelines and coordinate shipping schedules to meet deadlines and keep projects running efficiently. What I love most about this career is its ever-evolving nature — no two projects are ever the same, and there's always something new to learn. I'm passionate about thoughtful design, attention to detail, and creating spaces that truly reflect the client’s lifestyle and personality.
