WHLC Promotes Emily Guidry to Principal

Our People

WHLC is excited to announce Emily Guidry’s promotion to Principal.  

After 16 years of diligent work, Emily has a proven track record and has amassed an impressive project list. Her work has received numerous awards of excellence from the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) for corporate, healthcare, and public sector projects. With a wealth of knowledge in medical equipment and space planning, she devises creative solutions to achieve strict compliance with Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) and guides the WHLC Interiors Studio in the selection and specifications of furniture, fixtures, millwork, and artwork. Her expertise and skill are apparent in every project she undertakes, and as Principal, she will continue to lead her team with distinction.

We are proud to welcome Emily as our newest Principal. Her attention to detail in healthcare, workplace, and financial services design is second to none.

Emily has been instrumental in growing the WHLC Interiors Studio and will continue to guide her team into new markets and expanded opportunities. “As I look forward to my new role, I aspire to strengthen my leadership skills in the office and extend that commitment outward through community involvement,” says Guidry. 

Having earned certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and the Certified Healthcare Interior Designer (CHID)— one of the most recognized credentials in the healthcare design sphere— Emily is firmly established as a leader in her field. Since her first college internship, her special focus area has been healthcare. She has worked to master her profession through both hands-on experience and certification, and we are eager to see Emily’s continued growth in her new role.

We are confident in taking on challenging, complex projects because of our high-caliber, tenured team. Our seven firm partners, each with diverse expertise and experience, oversee personalized service for our clients, many of whom are long-standing partners.
