“Emma was collaborative and a wonderful listener. She encapsulated our ideas visually in a way that really resonated with our community.” 

Jessica H., Higher Education Professional

“Emma is caring and creative, I highly recommend partnering with her! She brings both curiosity and skill to all collaborations and her work is not only aesthetically beautiful, but helps surface meaning, knowledge, story and possibility.”

Reilly Dow, Scribe

“Emma is the first person that I think of when we need a graphic artist. Emma is an incredible listener. Somehow she’s able to listen not just to the words in a gathering, but to the Spirit of the gathering and then transform it into a beautiful and useful piece of art.”

Marcia Lee, MA, CPC Taproot Sanctuary and Healing by Choice!

“Working with Emma was always an absolute pleasure. In order to identify an appropriate direction and design accordingly, Emma would always listen attentively for purpose and asked the right questions to make the immaterial, material. Emma was always very receptive to changes, from direction to detail, and was always focused on making her work match the team’s vision and meet the organization’s goals. I would describe Emma’s art style as youthful, joyful, and creative with a good sense of color and purpose.”

Zackary Lash, Director, Saltamontes Network
