With a wide variety of interests but deeply committed to community, Emily Taylor has crafted her career in architecture leading projects from beginning to end at Hutton Design+Build, an integrated design and construction firm headquartered in her hometown of Wichita, Kansas. Emily’s project work is locally rooted – almost all in the state of Kansas – but spans a vast range of sectors, sizes, and typologies. Her emphasis on conceptual frameworks, clear architectural storytelling, detailed understanding of diverse user groups, and exemplary execution on limited budgets have led her toward a focus on civic projects and non-profit work. Emily also leads Hutton’s company-wide sustainability efforts.

Emily holds a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish from Oklahoma State University. She has been recognized with the 2021 AIA Kansas Young Architect Award and a 2024 AIA National Design Excellence Award.
