Hi there, I'm Emily.
I’m a graphic designer turned product designer based out of Omaha, Nebraska. I’ve been on the design scene since 2010, where I’ve had experience with multiple disciplines of graphic design, including, but not limited to: apparel, package, print, and digital. I've had many wonderful opportunities to work on projects for both new and old businesses, large and small. Fun color palettes, vector graphics, and typography are my favorite things to work with, but I've got the skills to tackle lots of different and diverse projects.
Through both life and work experience, I have become, what some would call, a very empathic person. I’ve lived my life by one rule - treat others how you would like to be treated - and I apply that to my design as well. UX design drew my attention because I’ve seen so many people frustrated with how products function. I strive to put the users' needs first, so that those frustrations no longer exist.
My style of design is playful, modern, and trendy. I enjoy finding ways to help people express themselves or their brand to the world through carefully thought out problem-solving and visually pleasing design. My goal in work is to continuously help make companies more relatable, approachable, and functional. Feel free to browse my portfolio and contact me if you'd like to work together. I'd love to help you with your next project.

Fun Facts About Me
I love all things that have to do with plants, cooking, and baking. A goal of mine is to learn the science behind baking.
I love traveling, particularly international travel. I've been to over 15 countries and hope to see many more!
I'm a matcha monster. Give me all the matcha!
