It’s me, Emily.

I’m an illustrator eating sauces, walking to the park 128 times a week, watching reality TV with Ryan, and pointing at the moon with our 3 daughters in Southeast Michigan.

Throughout the entirety of my day job career, my work has centered on collaborating with folks to achieve a more equitable food system. What has that looked like? Living in a barn in Waco, Texas with composting toilets and goats galore, eating fresh veggies, and planning garden clubs / moving across the country to tend a school farm and teach food things to students at The Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind / and it currently looks like directing communications at Taste the Local Difference.

All of this informs my illustrative style. I like silly, thoughtful, earthy, whimsical themes and I hope to portray that in my art. I work with pens, markers, and often digitally (easier to tote around, less to clean up in a house with a small humans running around!).

Please contact me directly for commissions or collaborations!
