Emi Chiba is a Sydney based graphic designer and illustrator. Having graduated from UTS with a Bachelor in VisCom and International Studies, Emi is interested in creating accessible and joyful expressions of visual communication. Emi has interned for Harper Collins Publishing and is currently working at Evi O. Studio and with designer George Saad.

Branding project designed for personal and professional use. I wanted my branding identity to be youthful, through use of a bright colour palette, yet reserved and relatively minimal in design with small pops of playfulness through language and use of stickers. As part of the Socially Responsible Design course at UTS, this project was a collaboration between Alex Shute, Michelle Nguyen, Wendy Trinh, Hyeonjeong Erin Yuk and myself. The brief was to create a targeted advertisement campaign designed for the purpose of mobilising law student to volunteer for Northern Rivers Community Legal Centre in Lismore. A Professional Experience Project (PEP) was undertaken as a final project for Socially Responsible design 2021. My PEP report details my three month internship with Harper Collins Design Studio and reflects upon my experiences and learnings.
