Housey set a goal for herself to cover her out-of-state tuition costs through her business profits. By applying to the Unions Entrepreneurial Program she was able to showcase and market her products in a physical space for the first time.
“I honestly never thought I would be able to get this far,” Housey said. “I never thought I was going to open a store at 20. This is my first store and hopefully not my last.”

What is it like working at Housey Designs?
"Housey Designs is one of the best things I have ever had the opportunity to be a part of. Not only have I been able to grow my portfolio tremendously before graduating college, but I have also been able to work alongside some of the most passionate, driven and talented people I have ever met. Seeing this company grow into something so impactful and Emily Housey’s love and support for each member of our team is something I will never take for granted; I am confident it will only continue to grow from here!“
"Housey designs to me means being able to be creative and analytical with amazing females that have the same mindset as me. It has built me a little home away from home and I’m so thankful for this opportunity.”
