About Me
Emma is from Minnesota, but she spent the last seven years on the California coast. Recently, she relocated to Honolulu with her partner, who’s developing affordable housing across the islands.
She attended the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), where she leveraged her studies to navigate a successful career working for brands like Nike, Meta, Instagram, Microsoft, Vans, and more.
With a refined eye for functional design, she plucks inspiration from architecture and fashion catalogs, dreaming of designing a better tomorrow. In her free time, you’ll find her adjusting to the island life; swimming, hiking, and running up craters.
