Meet Em

I'm the curator, writer, scavenger, buyer, designer, and order-packer at Ardent Market.

I remember every vintage find I passed on (with some regret) and I am famous for Martini Friday (no regrets).

I am passionate about well-crafted things, unpretentious about happy hour, love vibe-y playlists, prefer food-centric travels, and enjoy discussions about manifestation. I believe the key to romancing your life is appreciating the things and people in it. When you pay attention to your connection with your space and self, you discover new ways to create a quality life.

You’ll see me in the journal, behind every playlist, creating mood boards, and sending you mail (if you let me). You might even see me at a Southern California flea market.

However we meet, I am so glad you’re here and hope you enjoy AM as much as I do.

KIND WORDS about Em

The owner of Ardent Market is truly such a gem. She is the most thoughtful and intentional human so it only makes sense that Ardent Market is perfectly curated and handpicked for you. You’ll never have to worry where something came from because Emily has already done the research for you!

MEGAN

I love Ardent Market and all of the beautifully curated items, but what I love most is how sweet and kind Em is. Whether it’s the newsletters, social media, or her just saying hi, it feels good to know there is a wonderful person behind the scenes making the site and it’s offerings. I will always check Ardent Market for fun goodies before other sites, and Em is the reason I do that. She genuinely cares about her products and her customers.

LINDSAY

Em's ability to curate a deeply meaningful experience continues to take my breath away. Every product, partnership, message, image, and decision is navigated with such intention and beauty. I'm so thankful for the vision and heart she brings to AM. It makes shopping feel like an act of love.
