I'm drawn to the permanence of what we create here. In a world of disposable products, we build pieces that will become family heirlooms. My greatest satisfaction comes from knowing something I made today might still be cherished a century from now.
Physical Condition
Healthy and fit overall. Today she's feeling somewhat tired after staying up late working on designs for a commission, but maintains good focus and energy through the day.
Favorite Place
Emma's favorite place is a quiet corner of the lumber storage area upstairs. She's created an informal design space there with a small drafting table where she can sketch ideas surrounded by the smells of different woods. The sloped ceiling has a skylight that provides perfect natural light for studying wood grain patterns, and she finds inspiration in being surrounded by raw materials. The remoteness from the main workshop gives her the peace to think creatively without distraction.
