Hi, I’m Emily, a brand designer interested in how thoughtful design shapes meaning, trust, and experience. I grew up in Boulder, Colorado, studied design and marketing at USC, and spent a formative year in London, where I first saw how intentional design can give brands a soul people resonate with. Living in LA, Dallas, SF, and now New York has shaped how I see the world and how I design within it.

Currently at Goodby Silverstein & Partners, I focus on creating scalable systems across brand, product, and experience. I build and evolve brand systems and narratives across consumer and B2B categories. I’m increasingly drawn to the intersection of brand, storytelling, and emerging technology, and especially interested in how brand informs product experience beyond the marketing layer.

Outside of agency work, I’ve been building an AI-powered relationship companion, using emerging tools to prototype and iterate quickly while exploring how thoughtful design and narrative can humanize intelligent technology.

When I’m not designing, I recharge by going for runs, skiing whenever I can escape the city, or experimenting on personal projects that keep me curious.
