Meet Emily - Designer, Space Planner & Cabinetry Expert
With a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from the University of Washington and years of hands-on experience in architecture, project management, and showroom design, Emily brings both creative vision and technical precision to every project.
Her approach is rooted in understanding how people move, live, and gather in their homes. She believes great design should feel warm, intuitive, and effortless — and that the best spaces come from listening deeply and designing with intention.
Emily leads every project personally, guiding homeowners through layout planning, cabinetry design, materials, finishes, and all the small details that bring a space together.

TRAVIS BIRD
Highly recommend Emily for any remodeling or design work in the Seattle area. We recently completed a large project together that went smooth with great results due to her planning, management, and communication.
Pushpa Chandwaney
Emily did an outstanding job managing our remodel. She offered excellent design ideas, communicated clearly throughout the process, and ensured our high expectations were met. I could not have asked for more. It was a pleasure working with her on our remodel and I recommend Belle Design without hesitation.
Vickie Gaskill
Emily and her crew(s) have always been a pleasure to work with. Belle Design and Build have done 2 major projects at my house; total remodel of bathroom/bedroom and a Hot tub installation recessed into my back patio. Also, I don't have a lot of creative talent so it was nice to take advantage of Emily's experience and expertise to make the decorating decisions for the project. I will definitely call Belle again for future projects.

Working with Emily at Belle Design has been an absolute pleasure. She brings a wonderful sense of relatability to every interaction, making collaboration feel easy and natural. Her strong work ethic is evident in the quality and consistency of her contributions, and she’s always willing to go the extra mile to get things done. I’ve truly enjoyed working alongside her and look forward to more opportunities in the future.

My husband and I have worked with Emily over the years on various design and remodel projects. She brings so much experience and creative solutions to her work. We are so pleased with all the outcomes!
jenna johnson
We could not be happier with our new kitchen, thanks to Emily and her team! Emily did an amazing job designing a space that was functional for our family and fit our style and budget. Our project was completed over a year ago and my husband and I still find ourselves commenting frequently on how much we love our kitchen. We will absolutely call on her again for future projects.
peggy kanaga
We did a kitchen remodel with Emily about four years ago and we still marvel at how much we love our “new” kitchen! Emily used her great design skills to update the cabinet layout and went with us to pick out the new cabinetry, countertop material and sink. She provided highly skilled subcontractors who got the job done in a professional and timely manner. We can whole-heartedly recommend Emily and Belle Design Collective for your home remodel needs!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Emily for many years as an engineer, and she consistently delivers outstanding building designs. Her attention to detail, creativity, and deep understanding of structural requirements make every project seamless. Her plans are always well-organized and easy to work with, streamlining the engineering process. I highly recommend Belle Design to anyone in need of a skilled and reliable building designer.
