Jacqueline was born and raised in Chicago and, in a previous life, worked at a coffee shop and as a bartender. Aka, she loves people and knows how to deliver exactly what they want (and need). She's always had a knack for beauty as an artist herself, but after going to design school, she truly found her calling. When she’s not working, Jacqueline loves camping and hiking, appreciates a good donut, and is known to keep everyone in the office laughing. 

A Southern California native, Julia was born and raised in Glendora, a small town in the foothills, aptly named “Glendorable”. While the first portion of her career fell into the corporate event planning & sales realm, a twist of fate (and a “quarter life crisis”, as Julia calls it) led her to the design industry. When she’s not managing operations here at AEF, you can find her scrolling Zillow and dreaming of a renovation with her husband, or chasing her son, Teddy, on the beaches of Laguna.

A native of Orange County, Emma's roots are deep in Coastal California. Graduating with a BFA in Interior Design from Cal State Long Beach, her attention to detail and knowledge of the industry is simply unmatched. When she's not nailing down the finest details on her projects, you can probably find her enjoying a morning matcha with her pup, Mila, sending us pictures of her baby boy, Elliott, or antique shopping at her favorite local spots around town.

Previously a New York native, Anne moved to California to chase her dreams (and that California sunshine). Combining her degree in marketing with her love for aesthetics, Anne’s pretty much the go to gal for all things content and social. Basically she’s the one that keeps the AEF brand movin’ and groovin’ on Instagram. In her spare time, Anne loves spending days at the beach and obsessing over every single dog she sees, and is known for *always* ordering "a side of fries, please!".

After growing up in a small town in Northern California, Abagail made her way down to San Diego to explore coastal life and follow her dreams of becoming an interior designer. The mix of her impeccable eye and four years of schooling in architecture and design is exactly the reason she’s our go-to gal for innovative ideas that also *just make sense*. In her spare time, you can find Abagail enjoying long walks with her pups, Shea + Naijah, hosting dinner parties, or swimming in the ocean the second the water temp gets above 62 degrees.

Vicky is a quintessential SoCal gal, born in San Diego and then raised right here in Orange County. With an extensive background in accounting and every single field of construction, Vicky is an integral part of the team that keeps AEF in motion behind the scenes. When she’s not pitching us ideas for how to keep this business running even more efficiently, you can find her putting on parties and events (but seriously, you should see her balloon designs) or laughing with friends, even though she swears she can’t tell a joke.
