When Emily saw the need for a Workplace Strategy Team, Corgan immediately backed her idea. The result is a studio dedicated to human behavior, change management, and workplace strategy that provides research and direction across all studios. “We've created a toolkit to gather information, depending on client parameters and challenges,” explains Emily. “Once we identify the problem, we collaborate as a team to determine the best solution.”
During her 15+ years, Emily has designed countless workplaces, a phone app, and several products, and assembled an entire team focused solely on creating a new revenue stream for the firm. “Along the way, I've felt valued for my ideas and supported in making them come true,” she says. “Corgan is a unique place, with the spirit of a start-up and the resources of a big firm.”
Emily continues to elevate our practice with key clients such as Citibank, Interstate Batteries, Oncor, Fossil, and Microsoft. She brings her ability to draw out the vision, create alignment, and apply innovative concepts to elevate the workspace. Her work is recognized by the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) and has been featured in numerous publications, including Interior Design and Interiors & Sources.
