Hi, Iām Emma š
I am an empathetic creative leader and I use my mind to help brands authentically connect to people. My work spans all forms and is driven by human behavior. Curiosity is my fuel and I thrive off of ideas that advance culture forward.
In addition to collaborating with teams to produce the best work possible, I carry my passion for mentorship outside of the office as a course contributor at FIT, delivering regular lectures on the ever-evolving digital landscape.
Off-hours I enjoy making things with my hands and have recently reignited my love for pattern making by experimenting with new mediums like fabric dyes, exploratory sewing techniques, and fabric paints. Iām also an avid runner, skier, and full-time plant parent.
Please reach out via email below should you want to talk.
