“I can't express enough how fortunate I was to find Emily for my wedding. With a whirlwind of events ahead of me, planning a 3-day wedding in France, a courthouse celebration, a St Tropez trip, and preparing for my honeymoon, I was overwhelmed. Thankfully, I found Emily just two months before the big day and she was able to transform my experience.

From the moment we connected, Emily took charge of the outfit planning and stress, instantly putting my mind at ease. I was already juggling too many potential outfits and needed expert guidance in accessorizing and narrowing down my options. Emily was a stylist, therapist, and friend all in one during this chaotic time.

I was thrilled that Emily shared the same passion for vintage. She fully embraced my vision and incorporated vintage elements seamlessly into my wedding looks. She found me the most beautiful vintage rehearsal dress that was absolutely stunning in photos. She was also excited to style my family heirloom pieces and was able to seamlessly incorporate them into my looks in a balanced way.

Emily has the ability to strike a perfect balance between being open to clients’ ideas and visions while also keeping them focused and on track. With such a short timeline, it was easy to get distracted by trends or doubt my decisions. However, Emily's support and guidance kept us right on schedule, ensuring everything fell into place by the end. She tirelessly takes on any design challenge, no matter the timeline or requirements.

She was able to capture my personality in every outfit she curated, making me feel confident and special. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She is not just a stylist; she is an invaluable companion for any event.”

“Emily has a true gift for styling! From taking stock of a client's existing preferences, to intuiting where the boundaries of that comfort zone can be stretched and redrawn, she really does help her clients feel like their best selves. She does this in several ways:

First, Emily listens. She gets to know you, asks questions with intention, and methodically defines her project parameters with occasion, setting, and client in mind. This is a key component of Emily's process, because her goal is not simply to dress you in clothes she likes, but instead to help you explore and express your own unique personal style.

Second, Emily is constantly on the hunt. Whether she is combing vintage shops, scanning new arrivals online, or networking with brands and independent designers, she is genuinely tireless in her commitment to curating personalized options for you. When my sister clocked a runway MaxMara gown as a potential bridesmaid dress, Emily tracked down one of only six units in the U.S. and made magic happen. She doesn't quit and won't settle for less.

Lastly, on top of her perceptiveness, empathy, and fabulous sense of humor, Emily is a total professional. You can trust her to follow through on timelines and deliverables. She gives and receives feedback without ego, like a close teammate would - with the understanding that you're working toward a common goal. Finally, Emily takes her work seriously, always knee-deep in fashion archives and moodboards or in conversation with her industry peers, constantly researching and refreshing her sources of inspiration. This is what I think makes her the most exciting stylist-on-the-rise at the moment (hello, Forbes!) - her voracious appetite for experimentation and for growing our collective understanding of what looks and feels good.”

“As an executive who recently had two babies in two years, dressing for work every morning had become an anxiety-riddled experience. I knew I needed help to have form fitting, yet on-trend clothes and didn't have the time or patience to revamp my wardrobe myself. Enter Emily, a true lifesaver. Not only did she help clear out my closet with quite old and out of date work wear, but the intention and breadth of the new styles she purchased honestly made me feel like a new person.

People comment all the time now on my 'look' and I feel more confident than I ever could have imagined, especially being post-partum. For anyone who has recently gone through a change or just looking to update your look in a way that still feels like 'you', hire Emily. It's the best investment I've made in myself for a long time.”

“Late 20s are a weird time… I’m traveling more for work than leisure, plenty of weekends are spent staying in with my husband and cats or hosting dinner parties, and yet my wardrobe is still reminiscent of my early twenties New York era where everything was tiny skirts and crop tops. While I think of myself as loving fashion, I was in a total rut trying to figure out how to part ways, give some existing items a new life, and bring in some fresh blood. Enter: Emily! She gracefully purged over half my closet but by the end, I was thinking “wow look at all these pieces I love” not “where did everything go??”. She honed in on my style very quickly and within days I had new items arriving for me to try on that pushed me out of my comfort zone while still containing elements and shapes I felt confident in. Also the fact she consigned everything for me was amazing, those bags of close would have sat in my garage for months…

Emily’s work is beautiful. She’s organized, timely, and honest. I can’t imagine working with anyone else for travel, occasions, or general refreshing in the future.”

“My wedding journey with Emily was truly unforgettable. She's a styling genius, and I am forever grateful for her talent and friendship.

She not only styled each look for my bachelorette, wedding, and rehearsal dinner but truly transformed each moment into a memory that I will cherish forever.

From the moment we began discussing the outfits, her creativity shone through. She didn't just pick out looks; she curated experiences. Every piece was meticulously chosen by her to not only reflect my personal style but also to capture the essence of each occasion.

What truly sets her apart is her ability to balance uniqueness with chic comfort. I never once felt like I was wearing a costume; instead, each piece felt like an extension of myself. It's a rare gift to find someone who can blend personal style with occasion-appropriate attire, but she does it effortlessly.

Throughout the process, she listened attentively to my preferences and concerns, ensuring that every detail was just right. Whether it was finding the perfect pair of shoes or adding the final accessory to tie the look together, she left no stone unturned.

Thanks to Emily's expertise and dedication, I not only felt confident and beautiful but also relaxed and at ease. She is not just a stylist; she's a friend who will go above and beyond to ensure that your special moments are met with style, elegance, and the essence of who you are.”

“I’ve been hoping for a chance to work with Emily by Design since the launch in 2022.

I have a wedding in Italy that I wanted to have fun dressing up for so I reached out to Emily by Design for some help. I kid you not I fell in love with the first options she showed me! Her eclectic flare and unique style make working with Emily a blast and a one-of-a-kind experience.

This definitely won’t be the last time we work together!”

“Emily’s closet clean-out services go beyond just helping you get rid of your old clothes. She analyzes your wardrobe, identifies the gaps, and then helps you fill those gaps by sourcing a combination of vintage and contemporary pieces tailored to your personal style.

I love working with Emily because she picks out things I never would have thought about. She pushes me outside my comfort zone and helps me achieve effortless style. It’s also comforting to know that after working with Emily, I don’t have to worry about showing up to an event and being dressed the same as everyone else.”

“Emily styled me for a themed party in London. She has a great talent for putting together outfits that embrace the theme in a sophisticated way without being too on the nose.

She truly listens to me when she styles me, striking a masterful balance between age-appropriate, modern, and classic looks.”

— Lorri L., wardrobe client

“Emily was an incredible influence and advisor throughout my bridal wardrobe process and in selecting dresses for the bridal party. She encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and refused to let me settle for a generic bridal look! The PDF of bridesmaids dresses she put together was so incredibly helpful and creative. I loved how all of the bridal parties outfits came together. I felt completely authentic in everything I wore during the weekend. With Emily's input and approval, I felt confident and thrilled with our choices. I especially appreciated the vintage pieces we incorporated. Emily understood my style and her suggestions reflected a modern yet classic vibe. No text went unanswered and no matter how silly the request for sourcing (aka a silver clutch for my grandmother ha) she nailed it. Working with Emily was so fun, and I wish I could experience it all over again!”

— Kate S., bridal client

“Working with Emily was… well, not work at all! She listened to what I wanted and ultimately found something for me that I never would have pulled for myself. Somehow, it was me, but a more perfect, polished me! I highly recommend partnering with Emily if you want to supercharge your look for an evening, a trip, or remix your whole wardrobe.”

— Wendy S., bridal client

“From the moment Emily and I connected, it was clear that she understood my vision for my wedding weekend and my personal style goals on a level that exceeded my expectations. As someone who treasures individuality and uniqueness, finding the perfect wedding weekend outfits was something I had dreamed about since I got engaged!

Emily went above and beyond to curate a selection of vintage and unique pieces that perfectly captured the essence of who I am. With her keen eye for detail and deep understanding of fashion, she brought me options that not only made me feel like a bride but also felt completely authentic to myself. Each piece she sourced told a story, adding an extra layer of meaning to my special day.On my wedding day, I felt like the best version of myself, radiating confidence and joy.

Emily's passion for her craft and dedication to her clients truly shines through in every way. I can't thank her enough for making me feel so incredibly special and ensuring that my wedding weekend was everything I had hoped it would be!”

“Emily is simply the best. I worked with her to style me for my sister's wedding in Tuscany. We started with a shared photo album and some ideation around the weekend's events. During this phase, I shared a screenshot of a MaxMara runway look that I loved and Emily agreed it was the perfect dress. Emily went above and beyond - and I truly mean, above and beyond, sourcing this dress for me. She tracked down one of six (or ten??) of these dresses sent to the US from Italy and got the dress for me just in time for the wedding. She also helped arrange complimentary alterations at MaxMara. In the meantime, she also sourced the most PERFECT Carolina Herrera mini dress for the night before and helped me with styling both outfits, advising on jewelry, shoes, and bags.

Emily opened my eyes to a holistic approach to styling - Factoring in my personal style aesthetic, comfort levels, and pairing it with not only the clothes but the accessories to complete the entire look. I'm so thankful for her and look forward to working with her in the future!”

— Kristen C., wardrobe client

“Emily was such a joy to work with! She listened to my needs and preferences and came up with the most stunning wedding weekend outfits, all the way down to the shoes, jewelry and accessories. She's also great at finding things that can be worn again after the wedding, I've already re-worn almost all the accessories and shoes I bought for my wedding weekend and it's only been 2 months since the wedding! She has such an easy going and friendly presence and made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout the whole process. I highly recommend working with Emily for your wedding or any other styling needs!”

“Emily did an incredible job styling our team for our company photoshoot! She knew exactly the right notes to hit with our wardrobe - a perfect combination of professional, edgy, artful, yet classic looks were selected for our team of 3. Not only were the garments eclectic and beautifully curated, she somehow managed to understand each individual's style and created distinct, yet cohesive looks for each of us. It was very important that our team be able to express our individuality, and she absolutely nailed the vision. Can't express enough how important it was to have Emily as our fashion guru to help complete our brand identity and hear opinions from a person who truly gets it. Will forever treasure this memorable and FUN experience with Emily.”
