My name is Emily Rose Lange, but my dad calls me Rosie. I am a Tennessee native, and I received my bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the College of Architecture and Design at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville in 2018.

While an architecture student, I was dedicated to diversifying my skills and having a strong hand in the arts, and then applying these ideas to that of architecture. While in school, I became an experienced wood and metal worker and eventually took a job at my school’s world-renowned fabrication lab, supervising both the wood and metal shop. While working at the “Fab Lab,” I also became proficient in 3D manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printing and CNC milling. In addition to my experience in manufacturing, I also expanded my skills in the arts by taking classes in film photography, ceramics, and cinema theory.

After graduation, I moved to Brooklyn, New York, where I worked as a project manager at Brook Landscape, a landscape design firm. At Brook Landscape, I applied the physical skills I had gained in college to real world uses, all while learning the ins and outs of project management, such as client relations and contractor relations. During my time in New York, I also worked with set designer Mila-Taylor Young as an assistant. With Mila, I helped design sets by creating visual representations, as well as constructing sets on and off site, locating special materials, and performing on-set changes.

In 2019, I moved from Brooklyn to the Wasatch Mountains outside of Salt Lake City, where I worked with Silver Fork Construction, building homes near the Solitude ski resort. While at Silver Fork Construction, I gained hands-on experience in large-scale construction, doing everything from molding and pouring foundations to framing and installing siding in a very challenging, mountainous environment.

After a few knee injuries, I began working as a fabricator, designer, and project manager at Reparadise in Salt Lake City, a design/build firm that has historically refurbished vintage Airstream trailers. Recently, Reparadise shifted its focus to incorporate custom Sprinter van builds into its repertoire. In order to keep up with the high demand of these builds, I worked with Reparadise to create a line of modular, flat packed cabinetry that could be shipped out to customers across the country.

After having diversified my skill set, in many areas adjacent to architecture, I have recently decided to shift my focus back to the practice of architecture in a more traditional sense. I now work for a Todd Mohr Architects, a very small high end residential firm in Park City. I am involved with all aspects of design and project management from initial survey and schematic design to pricing, permitting and construction administration.
