49 Millennium - Eighteenth Edition ARTS, MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT A feng shui master and successful interior designer, Jennifer Alison Emmer has been innovating in her field since 1992. After receiving a BA in art from Skidmore College in 1985, she completed graduate studies in business at Boston University and coursework toward a bachelor’s degree in French, with a minor in history, at Harvard University. She began her career working in interior design as an independent contractor in 1992, later becoming the quality assurance manager at NEC Technologies, where she worked on the development of the company’s Superscript series printer. After meeting Gabriella Cristiani, an Academy Award-winning film editor and feng shui consultant, Ms. Emmer discovered her interest in feng shui. Leaving the technology industry, she moved to Florence, Italy, to conduct her studies. After returning to the United States, she began learning more about the practice from Larry Sang, a feng shui master and the head of the American Feng Shui Institute. She also studied under Alan Stirling, a feng shui master who runs online courses through the International Feng Shui Institute. Ms. Emmer combined her passion for feng shui with her interior design expertise to create L.A. Feng Shui in 1996. There, she served as a feng shui consultant until 2000 before opening Feng Shui Style in 2002, where she has excelled as a feng shui master and interior designer ever since. In addition to interior design, Ms. Emmer remains passionate about saving historic homes, especially those noted in the Newington Junction Historical District. Looking to the future she plans to realize her passion through purchasing and investing in historic real estate. Furthermore, as many individuals have requested that she share her feng shui knowledge, she has begun creating a new academic course. The course’s outline is completed, and she is writing several complementary books, including one about architecture in the U.S. and two about the general feng shui history and practices.
