Hello! I’m Emma Hay, a multidisciplinary multimedia professional with a decade of experience in animation, video, and illustration. I’ve edited hundreds of film, mixed media, and animated videos, and I’ve built and rigged 3D characters while illustrating and designing for over 20 published children’s books. If there’s a creative problem to solve, I’ll find the solution—chances are I’ve tackled something similar before. I thrive as a flexible all-rounder or a detail-focused specialist, delivering polished results on time and with a collaborative spirit. No task is too big or too small. I bring a hands-on, friendly approach to every project and am equally comfortable working independently or with a team to achieve outstanding visual storytelling.
