hey hey!

My name is Emily.

I’m a relationship driven

brand & graphic designer.

This means I’m obsessed with making things look good as hell, grounded with thoughtful strategy.

About
Emily

From a small town on the outskirts of Grand Rapids, I have a huge heart for all things local. And even more so, true trust & human connection. My emphasis is in a great combo of illustrative brand & packaging design, but I touch just about every element of graphics (for no matter who or what you do). What does this mean? Being deeply rooted in every ounce of strategy, thought, and detail that goes into the work that I create.

Areas of Focus        I create thoughtful brands that blend strong strategy with human centered design.

01: Brand Design
(& rebrands!)
Your brand is more than just a logo... it’s the story, personality, and purpose behind everything you do. I create thoughtful, human-centered brands, from naming and logos to mission, vision, and values, making sure every element feels intentional and connected.
02: Packaging
(LOML)
Packaging is often the first way people meet your brand. I design creative packaging that communicates your brand’s story & personality. Every detail is considered so your product feels like they belong in someone’s hands, not just on a shelf.
03: Graphics
(all the things!)
On-brand visuals that bring ideas to life. Whether it’s marketing materials, social assets, or any other design touchpoint (with an occasional web design), every piece deserves the same attention to detail.

what my lovely clients say

FANTASTIC! We were so lucky to find Emily in the early stages of our brand. I have loved working with her on everything from our core brand assets, packaging, and pitch decks. She's great at hearing your brand story and mission, and then creating something beautiful you'll be so proud to show off!

Emily absolutely crushed it with our company's branding! We love it, and receive a lot of compliments and positive feedback from others. She was also great to work with - very creative, and in-tune with our thoughts and desires. We were new to the concept of brand development, and Emily not only led us to a wonderful, finished product, but made the process fun and rewarding along the way. We highly recommend her!
