About Me

Hi, I’m Emily, a graphic designer and brand expert with over 14 years of experience helping businesses communicate with clarity and creativity. I specialize in crafting visual identities and design systems that not only look polished but also solve real business challenges.

When I’m not designing, you’ll usually find me painting, writing, fixing up my 1970s home, or spending time with my kids (who inspire me daily). Creativity runs through everything I do, whether it’s a client project, a DIY home project, or an Etsy commission.

What I Do

I help businesses stand out, build trust, and connect with their audiences through design. My work spans:

  • Branding & Identity → logos, refreshes, and full identity systems.

  • Print & Marketing Collateral → brochures, flyers, posters, and packaging that make a lasting impact.

  • Visual Storytelling → infographics, presentations, and event graphics that turn complex ideas into clear communication.

  • Photo Services → editing, restoration, and digitizing that bring visuals back to life.

Beyond design, I also support my clients with copywriting and digital/social graphics when they need a full creative package.

My Approach

Design is more than making things look good — it’s about solving problems. I bring:

  • Intuition & Empathy → I anticipate your needs and design with your audience in mind.

  • Collaboration → I work closely with you so the end result reflects your vision.

  • Innovation → I stay ahead of design trends and push creative boundaries.

  • Clarity & Communication → I explain my choices and keep the process transparent and stress-free.

The result? Design that not only elevates your brand but also moves your business forward.

Proof in Practice

Over the years, I’ve worked across industries — from pharma to nonprofits to small businesses — leading brand refreshes, designing campaigns, and rolling out cohesive creative across 50+ global sites. My portfolio highlights some of the transformations I’ve helped bring to life, showing the power of thoughtful, strategic design.

Personal Touch

Outside of client work, I run an Etsy shop where I create custom invitations and hand-painted banners, and a Threadless shop featuring my illustrations on apparel and accessories. I’m also passionate about animal advocacy and fostering animals to support adoption initiatives.

Every project I take on — professional or personal — is driven by creativity, compassion, and a little bit of humor.
