MEET EMILY

Design was never something I stumbled into — it’s something I was raised in. My parents built homes and developed neighborhoods around Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so floor plans and job sites were have always felt like a second home to me. By 22, I was already taking on my first design renovations, and every rental and small house I’ve called home since has received the same treatment: thoughtfully made into a home, one decision at a time.

Over a decade later, that passion has only sharpened. After building my own custom home this past year, I’ve leaned heavily into new-build consulting — guiding clients through the details that truly shape how a home lives, from cabinet drawings and layout changes to lighting and plumbing selections. I understand firsthand just how many decisions go into creating a space that functions beautifully for a family, becuase I recently made every one of them for mine.

I’m also a mother of three, which means I design with real life in mind — not just what looks good, but what holds up to it. That perspective is exactly why ELG Designs operates the way it does today: hourly design consulting. Consider me your design consultant, your design coach, or simply the friend with an eye for it all — here for a single question or the entire process. Renovation, new build, nursery refresh, or the one room you’ve been circling for years: I‘ll help you decide where to shop, how much to buy, how to hang it, and where it belongs. And my favorite part of any consult? Styling the finishing touches once its ready for that final layer of polish.

You make the decisions. You take the action. I’m simply here to help you keep things moving.

Lets talk through your space, together — one consult at a time.
