I’m Emma. I design because it helps me make sense of things.
I got my start helping my mom make social media posts for her bakery. At the time, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I just knew I loved seeing how a few small choices could completely change how something looked, felt and connected with people. I kept following that curiosity, and somewhere along the way, it became a career in art direction and design.
Today, I work at a small creative agency, where no two days look quite the same. I move between brand identities, fundraising campaigns, publications, event environments and websites, sometimes all in the same week. What I love most is figuring things out. Give me a dense research report, a complicated website or a 90-page magazine, and I’ll happily dig in, find the thread and work out the clearest, most human way to tell its story.
Outside of client work, I’m usually illustrating, collecting scraps for my journal or making unnecessarily specific playlists. I think they all come from the same place: I like noticing things, finding connections and turning what I find into something worth sharing.
