About Emily

Once obsessed with fixing up my own century old house as a side project, now I am having fun making my clients happy as they have turned my passion into my profession.   I bring 12+ years  professional experience as a visual merchandising designer and project manager with adidas, Columbia Sportswear, Mountain Hardwear, and Hollister into your home or business.  Delivering on attention to detail, design and functionality catered to your style or brand, in your home or business.

I pride myself on communicating clearly with clients in the style they prefer:  keeping you in the loop on any changes that come up mid-project or running with the "get it done quick" mentality and handling the choices for you.  

I am the right person to work in your house or at your business because everyday I bring a great attitude, diligent work ethic and a genuine care about customer satisfaction.   I will arrive excited to meet you and will have no negativity or judgment about you or your home.  We will communicate in advance to make sure that I save you time and money by arriving as prepared as possible.  

I am upfront about my skills and capabilities so I share here simply: I have experience successfully completing all projects outlined on the Services page and many more not detailed.   Such projects and tasks do not require a permit or certified plumber or electrician (which I am not, yet).  Feel free to ask if I am available for any project, and I will be grateful for the invitation and will be straightforward if I am not the woman for the job.  If you are (or know) a Certified Electrician or Plumber who is a Woman, please reach out so I may refer clients!   I am however insured for your and my own protection with a $1 million dollar professional and general liability insurance policy.

Handywoman is not yet a 'real word' according to dictionaries, most internet searches, or autocorrect.  Thank you for the opportunity to help change that.
