ABOUT

Hey, I’m Emi! I am a born and raised New Yorker, with eleven years experience working as a user experience designer. After working at various design agencies and in-house at Google News, I started freelancing so I could help small startups build products. I live in Seattle, WA with my boyfriend and our two dogs.
