Hi, I’m Emily.

I am a visual designer based out of Southern California who loves transforming abstract ideas into tangible reality. I create seamless user experiences by infusing purpose and beauty into functional, accessible designs.

With a professional background in operations management, I helped triple the growth of my small company over the span of 7 years. I have always had an eye for design and would take whatever opportunity I could to learn and utilize these skills more- whether it be via a second job, extracurricular programs in college, or designing marketing collateral for my company.

As I’ve leaned more into the field of visual design and honed my skills, I’ve appreciated opportunities to merge my design passion and logical management experience into creating functional, beautiful visual and web designs.

When I am not solving a problem or designing pretty things, you can find me traveling, trying new food & wine places, or enjoying a game night with friends.
