Let's Connect!
If you’ve made it this far on my website, I’m guessing you’re interested in my work… hey, that’s pretty cool.
I won’t give it all away at once but here’s a little about me. My name is Emma but you can call me Em. I’m a recent Graphic Design graduate from Arts University Bournemouth. My main focus within the design world is branding and the strategy behind it.
As a queer, purpose-led designer, my work is shaped by socially conscious ideas and the belief that design should be used to make the world better and kinder. During university, I worked on projects connected to brands and organisations including Lush, Canesten, War Child, Superpeople, and Endometriosis UK. These projects allowed me to use my skills to make a difference, which is something I always aspire to do.
I’m a creative all-rounder, with experience across branding, illustration, merchandising, packaging, editorial, motion and even a bit of 3D Blender.
Before university, I worked in production, leading a multicultural team and bringing people together to create incredible gifts for others, and on the side, freelanced Graphic Design from my bedroom.
Outside of work, I love going to live music events, being with dogs, expressing my identity through fashion, collecting Pokémon cards, drinking oat lattes and volunteering for the Green Party.
So that’s me in a nutshell. Now I want to know you! Here are my socials so we can chat some more:
My Approach
Collaborative
I’m at my best working with others where ideas are shared, questioned and built on together. I’ve led teams before, so I know how important it is to listen properly to everybody, keep things moving and bring people with you along the whole journey.
My process is strategy-led, but not rigid. I like to research, explore, test, change my mind, and follow the idea until it starts to feel right. For me, good design comes from good communication the whole time, not just designing at people, but designing with them.
Human-Centred
I take a human-centred approach to design, focusing on the people and communities a project is being created for.
My projects always begin with real people, real experiences and real problems. I want my work to be useful for others and to connect with people emotionally, not just because they think it’s visually appealing, but because the meaning behind it can make a persons life better.
