She has worked in New York, Washington, DC, Chicago, and her hometown of Cleveland on a variety of civic, commercial, educational, and residential projects.

She approaches architecture as a social science and enjoys thinking about how the public experiences the built environment in their everyday lives. In addition to her design work, Emily also has a strong background in architectural history, research, and writing and has published work on the historic development of urban neighborhoods in the Cleveland area.
