Hello! I’m Emma, a Sydney-based creative, art director and designer. I’ve spent my career building a strong skill base across art direction and design, and can flex some copywriting muscles when the occasion calls for it.
I’m a hands-on, integrated creative with experience across all aspects of a project. Just as happy solving a visual problem as a conceptual one. Plus, I’m confident and fast on the tools with experience across a broad range of clients and mediums.
I’m currently open to opportunities so hit me up if you’d like to have a chat about my work.
EXPERIENCE
Freelance / Creative / 2020 – Current
Since early 2020 I’ve been freelancing as both art director and designer. While working with The Haus, The Works, Ward6, The Core Agency and Paper Moose (among others) I’ve been lucky enough to work on compaigns for Mirvac, Bumble, LG, Wonder, IGA, Australian Eggs, PwC, Allergan Aethetics and Quest Apartment Hotels.
Loud / Art Director / 2018 – 2020
For two years I was a member of the tight-knit Loud creative team, working on every creative brief to cross our desk for a range of clients including Queensland Country Bank and Health Fund, Zespri Kiwifruit, Ad Standards and Commonwealth Bank.
Archibald/Williams / Art Director / 2017
While a member of the design team, I was given the opportunity to answer a few creative briefs, and apparently did something right. I jumped into the creative team with both feet, working on varied campaigns for News Corp before moving onto a major community campaign for the NRL.
Archibald/Williams / Designer / 2015-2016
As part of the studio team at A/W I was able to work across major clients like News Corp and The Royal Hospital for Women, as well as an array of smaller clients. Responsible for anything and everything needed I gained valuable experience in design and production of print and digital ads, a huge variety of point of sale material, EDMs, micro-sites and banner ads.
If You Build It / Designer / 2013-2015
As a designer at boutique design studio IYBI, I was involved in all major projects undertaken by the studio including branding, logo, icon and packaging design, print design and management, web design and EDM design. In my final year at IYBI I was involved in both concept and management of digital strategy campaigns for a number of clients. I was also in charge of the company blog and social media including copywriting. The diversity of this role involved juggling multiple projects on tight deadlines and liaising directly with clients.
