    Hi I am a Graphic Designer with over 10 years of experience. Over the years I learned a lot about graphic design, and that gave me a solid foundation to develop excellent design skills. I spent over five years working for one of the biggest retail companies in my country as a leading Designer. During that period, I gain tremendous experience in print design (posters, flyers, brochures, catalogs, leaflets, corporate design, postcards, banners, etc) and product retouching. After retail, I worked for one creative agency, which allowed me to learn new things in that environment. I learned the value of upfront and timely communication with clients. I always ensure that all clients are 100% satisfied with my work. Now I am here on Upwork, starting my career as a freelancer :) My specialties now include designing and developing all print and web design materials, company branding, logos, vector works, business card design, and promotional materials including print materials, brochures, posters, banners, flyers, and displays. In the past two years, I have gained more experience in photo editing and product retouching. I am always open to suggestions and like to learn something new that will allow me to perfect my design skills. If you give me the opportunity to work for you, I’ll do my best to justify your confidence and give my best contribution to the success of your project. Hope to hear from you one of these days!

    More than a decade in shameless self-promotion has honed my skills for exactly what you need. A film student in college I specialized at the time in screenwriting and video editing / sound design, quickly becoming the first choice editor for every “auteur filmmaker” who didn’t have the time to piece together her masterpiece. Editing for pizza, essentially, I wound up working as the head graphic/web designer for the university department of recreations. From small projects promoting intramurals to creating all media for the ACIS Flag Football National Championships it was my first real step into the fields of graphic design and branding. Instead of seeking professional work in the field after graduation I instead decided to fulfill a much less professional field known as stand-up comedy for the next decade. Stand-up comedy, a ruthless world of DIY self-promotion on a shoestring budget. Over the years I made use of the skills I entertained in college and put them to the test creating hundreds of gig posters, facebook announcements, registry-lapsed websites, and quickly abandoned podcasts. Every unique project and reinvention pushing me further than I was interested in and in less time than I probably needed. I’ve written sketch shows, punched up scripts, edited feature length films you’ve never heard of, and designed touring merch, cd and dvd inserts, fake chick tracts, newspaper stips, longterm partnership proposals for brand sponsors, business cards, and more postcard sized promotion handouts than I care to remember. My toolbox includes: Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere, InDesign, Final Draft, Wordpress, Content Writing, and Soup-to-Nuts brand construction. Now that I’m off the road I have decided to put this experience to good use and to seek out content creators and small businesses who could benefit from my experience. More than just quick one offs though, I would ultimately like to build sustainable relationships with these clients as we grow together. I work quick. I’m not afraid to take risks. And above all else I want to make you happy with the work that I do. You deserve it.

I also offer rapid turnaround times without compromising on quality - you'll have everything you need to take your idea from inception to a fully-realized brand with a strong web presence, and you'll have it quickly.

    Full-time Freelancer since 2020. Before I started a career in graphic design, I worked in hospitality where I fine-tuned my personality traits and principles: kind optimism, intellectual curiosity, work ethic, empathy, self awareness and integrity*. These traits, combined with an education from Pratt Institute, technical skills and 10+ years of agency and in-house experience working in the US and Europe, are what set me apart from others. What people say about me... "Emily has a talent for directing the client through the creative process and providing educated solutions to their pain points". "She's one of the most talented, creative, and collaborative designers I've ever had the pleasure to work with".
