Available to hire
I’m Emma, a multi-disciplinary creative director and designer based in Richmond, VA. I bring a hands-on approach to art direction, graphic design, and fashion concepts, blending storytelling with a sharp eye for detail. Over the years I’ve collaborated with brands, galleries, and education programs to turn ideas into bold visuals and engaging experiences.
Beyond design, I teach art and yoga, and I love mentoring young artists. My work spans from album artwork and posters to campaigns that celebrate creativity and community. I’m always exploring new ways to fuse color, culture, and craft.
