🔦 CLIENT SPOTLIGHT
Nobody is speaking to the new generation of investors and home owners. Realty brands are either snooty or stale, and leave you feeling... icky.

One of our values at Emerald is ensuring our business decisions allow for a work life balance (our other values: make impactful design accessible and exceed client expectations). We believe that taking time to rest and recharge will allow us to better...
Shoutout to moms We're big fans. When we were seniors at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, team Emerald (before Emerald existed!) went all out for the annual Mom's weekend flower show. Charlee and Leah did a Matisse themed exhibit, complete with painting a 7 foot wall, building a structure to hang laser cut flowers and even making matching t-shirts for us and our moms! We've always enjoyed doing the absolute most. Enjoy some photos below. Charlee & Leah Charlee, Leah & the 7 foot mural...
