Rich Background

From Fine Arts to Luxury Hotel Management

Emilie Tesniere's journey began with a passion for the arts, earning her Baccalauréat in Fine Arts (French high school diploma). She then pursued a degree in hotel management, leading to roles as a head housekeeper and Maître d’hôtel in prestigious French restaurants. This blend of arts and hospitality laid the foundation for her meticulous attention to detail and high standards.

Later, Emilie returned to her artistic roots, obtaining an associate degree in Graphic Design and working in the field for seven years. As a French native expatriated since 2012, she furthered her studies in interior design in San Francisco, specializing in color theory and the art of mixing styles. In 2013, her passion for interior design led her to create the EYM Design blog, showcasing her creativity and renovation knowledge from Europe and the US.

High-End Renovations and Creative transformations

In 2015, Emilie founded EYM Design, a European-style interior design company. She has handled a variety of residential projects, including high-end remodels in Berkeley and Montclair near San Francisco, CA, and in the charming Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, WA. On the commercial side, Emilie undertook the exotic project of renovating a 20-room historic hotel in Cuzco, Peru, managing workers and artists to give the hotel a second life, which subsequently became renowned.

After relocating her business to Saint Petersburg, Florida, Emilie Tesniere has successfully renovated and designed several homes, blending modern and historical styles with her unique European-inspired touch. She transformed her 3500 sqft home in the 1929 Pasadena Lake neighborhood and designed a high-end home in Madeira Beach, which sold in less than two months. Emilie also renovated a townhome in Clearwater, adding charm with updates to the kitchen, bathroom, floors, and more. Her work continued with the renovation of a mid-century home, which sold quickly, and a large 3500 sqft house in Allendale Terrace, where she combined classic Parisian style with modern elements, culminating in a sale of over a million dollars in March 2024. Emilie’s projects consistently showcase her ability to transform spaces with elegance and functionality.
