Based in Chicago, IL, Curate Design Studio provides residential interior design services at every stage of the design process. Our approach is simple: to thoughtfully create and curate spaces that are inviting, functional, and a true reflection of your personal style. Your home should be as unique as you are. By sharing your ideas, goals, and how you intend to use the space, each design will fit your lifestyle seamlessly.
Meet Emily Noonan:
I graduated in May 2011 with a bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts in Interior Design from the International Academy of Design and Technology- Schaumburg. Shortly after, I began my career in Kitchen & Bath Design, and quickly moved into Residential Design. I worked for Walter E. Smithe in Orland Park as a designer and Associate Manager, while simultaneously building my own design business in the neighborhood. I left Smithe in 2016 and have continued to design homes all over the southwest suburbs.
In addition to having a design degree, I am proud to say I have 15 years of design experience. My foundational knowledge of the elements and principles of Interior Design allow me to create spaces that are tailored to you and your lifestyle. While I have a personal style which is often reflected in my designs, you live in the space. I aim to marry your vision and mine to curate a well-thought-out, balanced, and harmonious look. From Mid-Century Modern to French Country to Industrial, I am all ears.
Interior Design is my passion. My family is my heart.
When not designing, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I have two beautiful daughters, a 95 lb. Golden Retriever best friend named Butters and a husband who encourages me to follow my dreams (and stays out of ALL design decisions in our home). I love being a mom, volunteering at my girl’s school, going for exercise walks, taking vacations, good food and wine, and organizing my home. Fun fact: My favorite color is brown. The color of chocolate, teddy bears, coffee, and my girl’s eyes.
I can’t wait to meet you!
