Emilie Le Garf NCIDQ, WELL AP

Emilie Le Garf, NCIDQ, WELL AP, is a Lead Interior Designer at LRS Architects whose international background informs her thoughtful, human-centered approach to design. Raised in France and practicing in the U.S., she brings a distinctive perspective to creating hospitality, workplace, and senior living environments that support comfort, connection, and well-being. Grounded in WELL principles, Emilie considers how elements such as acoustics, lighting, materiality, and opportunities for retreat can create more inclusive and restorative experiences. Her work has a particular focus on neuroinclusive design and how sensory-responsive environments can provide neurodivergent individuals with greater comfort, choice, and a sense of spatial agency. Her portfolio includes Davis Wright Tremaine’s Portland offices within The Ritz-Carlton Portland (where corporate design seamlessly intersects with luxury hospitality), and Parkview at Terwilliger Plaza (a senior living project prioritizing inclusive, adaptable environments for diverse cognitive needs). Across project types, she advocates for empathetic design that serves all users equitably, elevating human well-being across both front-of-house guest experiences and high-stamina back-of-house staff zones.
