Hello, I’m Emily. I’m a Brooklyn-based art director and designer specializing in branding, marketing, and editorial design.
I have experiences in all aspects of brand design—from overall storytelling, design guidelines, email marketing, web/UI design, social media templates, OOH campaigns, and illustration. When mentoring a team or collaborating with outside partners, my leadership style is empathetic and encouraging. I am most inspired helping digital companies in the media, tech, lifestyle, finance, and small business industries develop and maintain their brand.
Outside of work, I enjoy jogging around Domino Park, reading the latest hot novel on the front table of McNally Jackson, watching reruns instead of new shows (guilty), and practicing creative writing and painting.
For inquiries on my portfolio or to just say hello, please reach out at emily@emparsons.com.
