 Emily Darga has been working in the interior design industry since 2012.  Her father has owned a construction company for over 30 years in Upstate New York where she grew up, so her passion for residential design started at a very young age.  She remembers always sketching out different ways to rearrange her bedroom, her mother’s living room or friend’s rooms to make them more functional for the space.  Emily started college in 2009 at Hartwick College as a nursing student, but could always be found in the art building taking classes, so professors were confused to find out that art was not her major.  After three years, Emily left NY and started interior design school at The Art Institute of Michigan.  She graduated in 2014 with her Interior Design degree and immediately started working in the kitchen and bath industry.  In 2017, she joined Gittleman Construction as the lead interior designer.  Emily is very meticulous when it comes to her designs and selections, always putting her clients’ needs first when helping them make decisions.  She would consider her personal design style to be “eclectic with a modern and organic flare”.  She enjoys being able to work together with her clients to make the dreams they have for their homes into a reality.
