About me
Hi I’m Emma, a Graphic Designer with a diverse skill set and a proven track record in the fields of advertising, point of sale (POS) design, packaging, presentation design, art direction and more. My experience reflects a dynamic blend of artistic innovation and a keen ability to work harmoniously within brand guidelines, resulting in impactful and visually compelling design solutions.
Having experienced design from the point of view of a project manager earlier in my career I have benefited from a particular understanding of the parameters and life cycle of a project, allowing me to engage in efficiently creating work that not not only harnesses the visual needs of my client but stays true to their project guidelines.

- The Guide to Public FartingThe Guide to Public Farting is a self initiated project with the goal of bringing awareness for those with bowel and bladder conditions. The project aims to create a book that addresses the daily struggles that often cause shame and embarrassment to people with these conditions. Using humour and light-hearted illustrations I hope to start chipping away at the stigma of having one of these ‘hidden disaibilities’
