Hi, I'm Emilie!
Graphic Designer & Illustrator based in Richmond VA
I’m a strong believer that design is an essential problem-solving tool that delivers ideas into the world to improve the lives of people and how we communicate with one another. My mission is to constantly strive to be a designer who is influential, innovative, and inspiring.
I graduated in 2020 summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design at Virginia Commonwealth University. I’m currently an in-house graphic designer for Great Minds, and the primary design partner of Balcony Visions, LLC.
When I’m not glued to my computer, I am working on passion projects for my Etsy, hitting the gym, snuggling with my cat (Bartholomeow), enjoying the outdoors, or binge-watching nature documentaries on Netflix.
