About me
Hello, I’m Emily. I’m an Irish designer and art director who is living and working in London.
I graduated in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Design and Visual Communications, from IADT Dun Laoghaire. I have always considered myself versatile with a love for bold type & colour. My passion for art direction allowed me to combine my design skills with some big ideas and work on some amazing campaigns. I even represented Ireland in the print category of the prestigious Cannes Young Lions Competition.
I love to come up with ideas that can help change the world for the better.
