Welcome to my portfolio of work.
I have been a graphic designer since graduating from university in 2000, five years after that I entered into the wonderful world of designing and illustrating children’s books.
Since 2009 I have been freelancing and working from home when I can, fitting it around my 3 year old daughter Nora and 7 month old son Woody.
I absolutely love what I do! Hopefully this comes across in my designs and drawings. If you are interested at having a peek at my work, please do feel free to have a look. Alternatively, if you would like to contact me email: hello@designedbyemma.co.uk
