DESIGNER & ART DIRECTOR
BASED IN NYC

emma-bio-rockaway.jpg

I’m Emma, a Designer and Art Director drawn to the power of storytelling as a tool for connection.

With a deep love for the natural world, I apply my background in brand design, writing, and photography to organizations rooted in environmental conservation, culture, and creativity. I’m especially passionate about contributing to coastline communities and spend time volunteering with Billion Oyster Project, thinking about seaweed, and surfing the Rockaways.

If you have a project that you’d like to discuss, I’d love to hear from you! Please contact me via email or linkedin.
