Sewing curtains and pajamas with her grandmother as a child eventually led Emily Wood to her career as a decorator. “Her knowledge of fabric selection and sewing deeply influenced my understanding of textiles,” Wood says. “My time spent sewing with her made a lasting impact on my life and honed my eye for design.”Wood turned that passion into a degree in textiles and merchandising from LSU, and then an opportunity to assist an interior designer opened a new door.
