Emily Hunt
Architectural Designer
Emily was born and raised in Arkansas where she received her undergraduate degree in architecture. A year later she ended up in St. Louis to get a graduate degree in architecture from Wash U. Growing up in “The Natural State” gave her a deep love and respect for nature, and as a child, she always wanted to grow up to be an artist (or a marine biologist/zookeeper). As she got older, she was drawn to architecture because it gave her an outlet to express her creativity in a concrete way that would benefit others. What drives her passion is the ability to create a better built environment that integrates social justice with environmental advocacy.
What drew me to SPACE was their holistic approach to design and their ability to craft beautiful, experiential spaces. Having a hand in every aspect of design from architecture to furniture design is something that excites me and I’m grateful to have that opportunity at SPACE.
