Meet the team: Emma
After five years of masterminding campaigns for the biggest names in the visual arts, Emma pivoted into design and landed ready for action at a desk in Zetteler HQ. How? Why? Time we found out…
The problem with staffing a business with fabulous people is that it gets emotional when they move on. This month, Zetteler had to say goodbye to the wonderful Dorothy Bourne, who is travelling overseas to seek her fortune in the rug trade and, after three years of being utterly irreplaceable, has had to be replaced. Surely there could be no-one bold and brilliant enough to step into those shoes?
Of course there could. Step forward Wiltshire’s finest, Emma Collins, an experienced PR professional steeped in the visual arts world since her days at the Courtauld Institute.

(We were hugely impressed, but we kept it casual, natch.)
Emma is now cosily ensconced in Zetteler HQ, and on her second week in action, we nudged her into corner and demanded to know more about her journey from art to design, her hatred of smartphone-filtered experiences, and her extensive cache of John Humphrys trivia. Here she is in her own words…
