More About Me- Emily Walters

I began my design career in 2021 and founded Ivory & Onyx to carry that momentum forward. My mission is simple: to transform the way clients experience home improvements—whether it’s a spontaneous project or a lifelong dream. Above all, I measure success by the happiness of my clients.

Each design is a balance of timeless classics and modern elements, always personalized to reflect both the client and their home. I start with their vision and refine it into something that seamlessly fits their lifestyle and personality.

As wise mentors have always reminded me: “Choose a career that makes you HAPPY.” For me, discovering outdoor pool and landscape design unlocked a passion powerful enough to fuel a career. Ivory & Onyx is the expression of that passion—my version of HAPPY, brought to life in every project.

Behind the Brand-

What does Ivory & Onyx Mean?

In design, the use of Black and White is classic and sophisticated.
When defining what my brand would strive to emulate, I landed on timelessness.
