"Emily is a sponge. Always building on her skills in order to be the best she can be for the people around her. However, it’s just your skill set that keeps you working, it’s also your attitude and drive. Emily has always remained optimistic."

Brandon Brown

Founder, Plotwist

"Working with her is a pleasure, and she constantly brings ideas that push the project to its absolute potential. I cannot recommend Emily enough, and I look forward to the day when she runs her own company so that I can graciously ask for a chance to work with her again."

Clare Davis

GDS&M

"Emily is incredibly talented and versatile in her creative + she’s a lovely illustrator as well."
