About

Hello, I’m Emily. I’m a Brooklyn-based art director and designer specializing in branding, marketing, and illustration.

I have 10 years experience in graphic design—from brand guidelines, email marketing, web/UI design, social media templates, OOH, art direction, animation, and editorial design. When mentoring or collaborating, my leadership style is empathetic and encouraging. I am most inspired helping companies develop and maintain their brand.

Outside of work, I enjoy jogging around Domino Park, watching reruns instead of new shows (guilty), and practicing creative writing and painting.
