I’m Emily. My friends call me Emily. You can also call me Emily.

I know what I’m supposed to say here, but I’m not a big fan of bullshit. So, here’s what I’d want to know about me if I didn’t know anything already.

I once made a client laugh so hard that they fell out of their chair at a fancy dinner and they laid there laughing on the floor for a solid 5 minutes. I’m a person. I bring my personness everywhere I go. Sometimes that makes people fall out of chairs. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes being a person is hard or sad or scary. But empathy always works.

I have a good kid who thinks I’m a good mom. My husband thinks I’m funny. We had a hound dog that I thought would outlast us all. He didn’t.

I’m a creative director. I write as much as I art direct, even though my job titles don’t tell you that. I’m strategic. But not boring. I’m a good hang. Unless you’re making weird sounds. Then I’ll probably just leave. I believe in people. I believe in doing good. I believe in helping good people do good. Through their work and otherwise. I believe in failure. I believe my best work is ahead of me.
