Emily Brownell is the founder of Gilded Hearth Interiors, established in 2018 after her experience at Homepolish and her education at Syracuse University. Raised in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley, with summers spent in the Adirondacks, Emily developed a deep appreciation for nature, which inspires her signature blend of rustic charm and modern materials.

A true treasure hunter, Emily thrives on discovering that perfect piece that completes a home—one that feels like it was made just for you. Whether you have a vision but need help making it come to life, or you're looking for something completely unique, her out-of-the-box thinking will guide you to a solution.

When not crafting one-of-a-kind interiors, Emily enjoys soaking up the California sunshine with her husband and two young children. Her dream projects include transforming an old church into a stunning residence and returning to her roots in Upstate New York to design a lakeside cabin.
