Emboss Design

The firm evolved over four decades before rebranding to Emboss Design in August 2023 under CEO Emma Adkisson.

Based in Newport, Kentucky, the studio blends technical performance with a bold, playful sensibility across the United States.

Typical projects include commercial work for law offices and breweries, educational K‑12 facilities like Scott High School Natatorium, and civic landmarks such as Covington City Hall.

Their offerings span architectural design, historic preservation, tenant fit‑outs, branded interiors, landscape design, master planning, and even videography.

Emboss Design produces 'Emboss TV,' a behind‑the‑scenes video series showcasing site visits, design challenges, and their creative process in action.

They embrace a narrative‑driven approach—each space is crafted to make a mark, elevate human experience, and stand out from the mundane.

We intentionally design beautiful spaces & experiences with playful purpose and expert proficiency that boldly stand out from the mundane to create a positive impression on the future for people and communities.

We believe that good design has the power to transform people’s lives.

We design beautiful, humane, neuro

informed, budget

conscious and environmentally sensitive spaces.

Our team strives to create solutions that are bespoke to our clients, inspired by their vision for the world and alive with energy and care.

We combine expertise and technical performance with a modern, fresh sensibility.

We design through the lens of elevating the mental state of those that will inhabit our spaces.

We strive to authentically amplify the lives of everyone who interacts with our work.

Equal parts critical thinking and unhindered imagination.
