Emily Summers Design Associates

I am excited to be joining Anne Fairfax and Ed Hollander at the San Francisco Fall Show for The Dialogue of Design: Architecture, Landscape & Interiors, moderated by the San Francisco Chronicle’s Tony Bravo.

We’ll explore how these disciplines come together to create homes with a true sense of place.

Join us on Saturday, October 17 at 11:00 AM!

Following the conversation, Ed and I will be signing our books in the Authors’ Alcove. Hope to see you there!
