Hi, my name is Emily, a Brand Designer & Illustrator. With over 7 years of experience, I specialise in creating vibrant, thoughtful design for brands that care — from small businesses with big dreams to creative agencies running large-scale campaigns. I work freelance with B2C brands and agency teams, bringing ideas to life through bold brand identities, playful illustration, and meaningful visual storytelling. I especially love working in the food & drink, lifestyle, and wellbeing spaces, sectors where creativity and purpose collide. I’m passionate about supporting planet-conscious, sustainable brands that put people and the planet first. I’m all about community spirit, ethical products, and doing business with heart. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me hunting for treasures in charity shops, making something crafty, or lacing up my skates for a roller disco! Nature, secondhand fashion, animals, and a good cup of coffee are a few of my favourite things. If you’re a brand with a purpose (and a love for good design), let’s chat!
