Ems once again being acknowledged as one of the regions most creative designers:
Most Creative Interior Designers: This week saw the publication of another power list of sorts. This time from Design Middle East Magazine. In this edition, they have compiled a list of the “Creative 30”. The list is the top 30 “Guns of Design and Architecture in the Middle East whose contributions in 2018 is worth applauding and recognizing”.
We’re delighted that Emma has been selected on the list and named as one of the most creative interior designers in the region. It is an amazing achievement, given that only 8 ladies made this list. Which we did do a bit of an eye-roll at, given that woman only make up 27% of the list. Perhaps that’s indicative of the gender imbalance in the industry.
Or maybe the competition was that fierce. Still, I can think of a few ladies who deserve to be up there. Nevertheless, we are extremely delighted and grateful that Emma and the Studio have been recognized once more. It’s a honor to be ranked up there with so many of our peers and leaders from the creative branding and design industry.
