Hi, I’m Em! I’m from the California Bay Area, and focus on game UI design, graphic design, and digital illustration. I’m actively seeking work and willing to relocate!

Creativity and the arts have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m always seeking new ways to both further my own skills and appreciate other’s work. This passion is what lead me to pursue game development as a career, and I have a Bachelor’s in Art and Design: Games and Playable Media from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Outside of the visual arts, I’m also very passionate about dance, and have served as a director for two teams: Cruz Ctrl and StarChrome. Most recently, I’ve been exploring the world of photography.
