EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: EMILY TABER-MOORE, SENIOR DESIGNER

9/8/2016

 
EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT: EMILY TABER-MOORE, SENIOR DESIGNER
  • Q: What's your favorite part of your job? 
    • ETM: Everyday versatility -- having the opportunity to do project work for two different continents. I could be designing a 50,000 SF commercial space for Shanghai one day, and then designing a luxury seaside condo in La Jolla the next.  No day is the same, and it is incredibly exciting.  
  • Q: Where will we find you when you're not working? 
    • ETM: Honestly… most likely at the gym [haha].  I also love being outdoors in general. Originally from Boston, MA – you may find me on a beach attempting to get a tan, hiking or grabbing dinner with friends on an outdoor patio.  No hibernating on the West Coast!  
  • Q: When did you develop a passion for interior design?
    • ETM: During my adolescent years. I would go to my friends’ houses for what was expected to be a ‘play date’, however, I thought that rearranging their rooms was way more fun than discussing our latest celebrity crushes.  Needless to say, the parents always invited me back. ;)
  • Q: Obsessions? 
    • Food and SoCal sunsets.
  • Q: What inspires you?
    • ETM: My surroundings.  Anything from graffiti on the side of a building, to a tree branch, to my latest wanderlust crush.  The imagination has infinite possibilities and is always taken for granted.  
  • Q: Have you traveled anywhere interesting?
    • I ate my way through… excuse me, studied abroad in Florence, Italy for about five months in college.  From there, I have been fortunate enough to visit England, Spain, Germany, France, Israel and various cities throughout the U.S. over the years.
  • Q: Any hidden talents?  
    • ETM: I got moves.  I danced ballet, tap, and hip hop for 15 years way back when.
  • Q: Favorite quote?  
    • ETM: Have fun, be confident and fearless – the best ideas are born out of risk. - Kelly Wearstler
