a little bit

about me

Hey, I’m Emily! I’m a designer and aspiring art director based in Chicago. I'm currently a Senior Designer at McGuffin Creative Group, where I work across brand, print, digital, and campaign design for clients in healthcare, banking, and financial services. Outside of my 9–5, I take on freelance projects that let me explore new industries, collaborate with great people, and keep growing personally and professionally.


One thing about me is that I care, a lot. And the fact that I get to spend every day doing art for a living? A dream come true. It fills my cup knowing that I get to spend each day using design as a way to connect to other people and the world.


And when I’m not designing? You might catch me riding my bike along Lake Michigan, grabbing a cappuccino at my local coffee shop, or buying dark chocolate peanut butter cups from Trader Joe's.
