Hello! My name is Emily and I am an Art Director and Photographer based in Los Angeles, CA by way of the Midwest.​ After a year spent in Nashville, TN studying Design Communications and Photography at Belmont University, I relocated to Chicago and in 2010 graduated with my BFA in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago.

As a creative leader with 10+ years of extensive hands-on experience in both start-up and agency environments, I thrive off of handling multiple projects in a fast-paced, agile work environment and I know how to deliver meaningful results that are impactful across multiple platforms.

By week you can find me behind the glow of a computer screen and by weekend you will find me behind the lens on a trail or in a tent.
