Emera Howden-Gareau is the founder and senior designer of Modern Fox Interiors, a Western Canadian interior design studio known for thoughtful, human-centred spaces that balance function, beauty, and real life. Based in Calgary, Modern Fox Interiors serves clients across the surrounding areas, specializing in residential, commercial, retail, and renovation projects.

Emera’s design approach is grounded in the belief that well-designed spaces should support how people actually live. Modern Fox Interiors is known for meeting clients where they are at, whether navigating a full renovation, phased build, or a single space, and guiding them forward with clarity and confidence. With a background in social sciences and years of hands-on industry experience, Emera brings a deep understanding of human behaviour, flow, and functionality to every project. Her work is rooted in intention, collaboration, and buildability.

Modern Fox Interiors works closely with contractors and trades from the early stages of a project. Emera prioritizes clear documentation, thoughtful detailing, and open communication, helping projects move smoothly from concept through construction. This collaborative approach supports realistic timelines, accurate budgeting, and cohesive results on site.

At its core, Modern Fox Interiors creates spaces that feel considered, personal, and lasting. Emera’s work blends warmth with structure, creativity with discipline, and design with purpose, resulting in environments that are both elevated and deeply livable.
