Meet Emilie Dulles

IMG-about5Emilie is a color expert, font aficionado, paper snob, celebration maven, protocol adherent, and Type-A logistics director.

Born on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, Emilie grew up in Lausanne, Switzerland. An avid skier on the slopes of Gstaad and St. Moritz, Emilie even took up figure skating one powder-poor winter.

Moving to England for high school at the American School in London, Emilie hung up her blades to perform in musical theatre shows and honor choir recitals around Europe.

Returning to America for college, Emilie attended Princeton University, graduating in 2003 with a degree in philosophy. Emilie remains involved in the Princeton community via alumni-lead interviews and the Princeton Club of Charleston.

Emilie loves traveling with her husband, drawing, reading, singing, crossword puzzles, needlepointing, and working on her first of many novels. She speaks fluent French, conversational German and Spanish, and a little bit of Mandarin.

Emilie and her husband currently split their time between Charleston, SC and Washington, DC –– where the Dulles family has roots –– as well as Palm Beach, FL during “the season.”
