Emily was drawn to her career in design through a window. As a kid, she enjoyed driving around Kansas City and looking at various buildings through her car window. In high school, Emily would pass by the Helix office during First Fridays and peek into the windows to catch a glimpse of our work in progress. Now, as the person creating the designs and crafting the models that she once admired, Emily brings a passion for helping people through equitable design. While her definition of what’s considered “classic country” is up for debate (“think 2000’s,” she said), we admire Emily’s attention to detail and penchant for perfectionism.
