Emily Guidry
Principal, Interior Design, NCIDQ, IIDA, CHID
It's hard to beat Emily to the punch, as evidenced by the extensive project list she's amassed over just a few years working in Interior Design. A graduate of the interior design department of University of Louisiana at Lafayette, Emily was working on projects at the Lafayette General Medical Center before she was even out of school. After witnessing Emily's work first-hand as a part of the design team for the Lafayette General Hospital Expansion, WHLC jumped at the chance to bring her onboard. Since joining WHLC, Emily has become a licensed Interior Designer, a Certified Healthcare Interior Designer, and has received multiple IIDA awards for various projects; established herself as a key member and leader of the WHLC Interiors Studio.
Emily is committed to making spaces that protect the health, welfare, and safety of the public, while also providing them with the opportunity to experience a curated interior environment. Her experience at WHLC includes client interaction; selection and specifications of furniture, fixtures, equipment and millwork; project estimating, procurement and installation of furniture; and artwork selections.
Emily has always known she wanted to be an Interior Designer and never lost sight of her dream job. She brings that same combination of genuine exhilaration and tenacity of purpose to all the jobs she works on. Even though her passion is interiors, Emily loves to balance that energy with outdoor activities. In her free time, you can find her fishing, kayaking, or gardening; after all, this is South Louisiana.
