Hey there! I'm Emily — a multi-disciplinary Graphic Designer, Art Director, and Artist. I am currently working as an Art Director at Make + Co. — a boutique Chicago-based design agency where I specialize in all things graphic design, brand building, and mural making. Exploring typography and shape within physical spaces is what excites me most.

This portfolio is a curated selection of my work completed both collaboratively and independently. I specialize in branding & identity design with a passion for color, typography, and anything printed.

Some of my favorite things include: browsing the snack aisle for new packaging, crossword puzzles, paper samples, dogs, and dinner parties.
