Emily Griffin

Emily Griffin has been working in color consultation for over ten years. Her background is in interior design with a focus on color theory. Over the years, she’s helped many people move past the paralysis of staring at 47 shades of white that look alike. She cares about the emotional side of color, for example, how a room feels at 7 am versus 7 pm, or what happens when natural light shifts. That’s the lens she brings to everything she writes for Minimal & Modern.
