STARLING MEMORIES
The magic of my childhood influences everything that I do.
Not only has this wonderment shaped how I see things as a creative businesswoman, but this same sense of wonder also feeds my curiosity - always seeking my next big challenge and always on the hunt for new inspiration!
As a child, going for an evening drive after dinner was cheap entertainment, and it was also a regular occurrence in my household. It was during these dusk-lit drives that I first remember seeing murmurations of starlings forming the most beautiful fluid-like patterns over the city skies. Like water and air, moving in and out of each other, their dances were not only completely captivating to me but also spoke to my soul in the most unearthly and mystical way.
As I grew older, I noticed fewer and fewer starlings in my city, but the feelings I experienced while watching the starlings has always stayed with me. These starlings will forever symbolize the untouchable magic of childhood that I still hold so dear to my heart.
A little more about me...
​
I was raised on Pee Wee's Playhouse, and Pippi Long Stocking is my homegirl.
I am a thing-finder and a never-ending daydreamer.
I started my first business at the age of 8, which involved finding lost treasures on the side of the road (and abandoned houses). At 9, I started a second business selling bundles of firewood kindling door-to-door. It was a huge success, but unfortunately, the biz momentum dwindled after approximately 1 week, which was largely due to a lack of individual enthusiasm resulting in production shortages.
My simple wish
​
May my creative talents find you and inspire you, and may they contribute to your life in the most positive way ♥
My Background
With over 15 years of experience in the design industry, I am a self-made one-woman show, who values offering accessible design services to clients with varying needs, and budgets.
My previous employment history includes working in the Social Service sector, with large numbers of low-income clients facing multiple barriers such as; lack of employment, career transitions, mental health, abuse, crisis management, and addictions. Working within this community of people has given me a unique sensitivity to the power that can come from accomplishing small personal goals, as well as finding the inner strength required to thrive when all the cards seemed stacked against you.
My life, work + creative energy, are one.
My creativity thrives on good communication and working with people who are passionate about their business, as much as I am about my own.

Made my site functional and easy for me to update.
"I had tried a couple of other companies to set up my new website and was still frustrated with my inability to navigate through the site to make daily/weekly changes.
Emily jumped right in, made my site functional and easy for me to update new information. Thank you, Emily, for making my website beautiful and user-friendly!"
