Emily is a Seattle based graphic designer and illustrator.

Hi, I’m Emily!

My journey into visual design stems from a lifelong fascination with communication and visual storytelling. I'm particularly drawn to product and packaging, marketing and advertising, environmental, and branding/identity design. My background as a public school teacher deeply influences my design process. I approach projects with empathy, focusing on understanding client goals and user needs. I believe in asking meaningful questions and prioritizing accessibility to create inclusive and impactful designs.

Beyond design, I'm an avid gamer (Switch, Steam), a Dungeons and Dragons enthusiast, and I love exploring various creative hobbies. This diverse range of interests fuels my creativity and helps me bring unique perspectives to my design work. I am excited to connect with you and create something amazing!
