Hi, I'm Emma Connaughton, a visual communications designer with a passion for brand storytelling and creating cohesive identities. I’m detail-oriented, enjoy collaborating with others, and thrive in fast-paced environments. With hands-on experience across graphic design, print production, and customer-facing roles, I bring strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign) and a practical understanding of how design supports brand strategy and audience engagement. I also value ongoing learning and wish to inspire and be inspired throughout my work.
