Hi, I’m Emily
(but you can call me Em)
I’m a graphic designer based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with a soft spot for thoughtful ideas, playful details, and making things look just a little more interesting. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design with a minor in Communications from Palm Beach Atlantic University, and have been putting those skills to work ever since.
I’m a quiet and intuitive person who believes good design is equal parts intentional and imaginative. I love the variety graphic design offers and the little details: typography, color, illustration, photography, and all the tiny decisions that make something feel just right.
When I’m not designing, you can usually find me curled up with my Kindle, my cat George, and my service dog, Eve, or embracing my collection of “granny” hobbies: crochet, needlepoint, and sewing. Basically, I like making things—whether that’s a brand identity, a crochet blanket, or something that absolutely did not need to be handmade but was anyway.
