Here we will chat about processes behind interior design, DIY adventures, trends, resources and how I do it all as a mom.
Hi! I am Emma Barker, the Designer behind Embarking On Design.
Why I started Embarking On Design:
I have always been a creative, starting with sewing and art lessons at a young age, all the way through getting a Bachelors Degree in apparel design and fashion merchandising.
I have since worked in marketing, visual merchandising, event decorating and interior design. The last 3 years as an Interior Designer have been filled with the most passion I have ever felt for a job.
In August of 2022, my husband and I had our first child, Genevieve. I couldn't imagine going back to my day job and not spending as much time with her, so Embarking On Design LLC was also born!
It started with polling products and posting interior design concept boards on social media during maternity leave. I had so much fun getting to start designs from scratch and get the client's feedback, and by clients, I mean everyone kind enough to interact with the posts on social media.
My first concept board on socials.
I post these concept boards almost weekly and often get the question, "How did you come up with this design?" I always write out a design explanation for my clients, so it makes sense that everyone helping me pick products for these concept boards would want the same.
Why I Started A Blog:
If you are reading this, thank you and please be kind as this is my first blog.
As a child I struggled with dyslexia and therefore was never a huge fan of reading and writing. Ironically enough, it took me being pregnant with my first child to really start getting into reading. I was searching for pregnancy, motherhood, child development and product information to feel more comfortable in my future role. Blogs were a big part of that search.
I hope the Embarking On Design Blog can be a resource for you as well, whether you’re a homeowner, designer, mother, or general information seeker.
What to Expect:
I want to fill you in on interior design projects, DIYs, product resources, and design trends. You can also follow along for hopefully some of my motherhood moments made made easier by good design.
