Emma is a designer based in Sydney, Australia. She is interested in the intersection of design thinking and real world problems, with an optimistic belief that design can prompt change on an individual and global level. She studied a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication at UTS and has interned at Universal Favourite and For The People. When she’s not designing, you can find her in the ocean or watching a good nature doc.
A digital campaign and branding project to market Bely (the typeface by Roxane Gautaud). My campaign aims to market the typeface as versatile and highlight its unique geometric details, while revealing its playful nature through the tone of voice, colour choices and motion. Created for ISTD brief 'Putting Things In Order' which asked us to consider the lesser known and obscure ways that people have put things in order. My solution was ‘Decoding Beauty’ - a publication that creates a dialogue between different mathematical and spiritual methods that we as humans have used to rationalise beauty in art and nature. My work exhibited in the UTS student magazine (Vertigo). The piece titled ‘Can You Hear Us’ was inspired by my attendance at the 2020 School Strike for Climate and features words that I saw on protest posters. The piece was featured in the 2021 issue called ‘Holocene’ (which focused on environmental issues, and our humanly connections to the land).
