Hey, I'm Emma!
I’m an Essex-based designer specialising in children’s publishing, licensing and surface pattern design, with a love for creating playful, characterful work that makes people smile.
My background is in children’s publishing, where I’ve spent the past 14 years designing books and helping stories come to life through colourful layouts, typography and illustration. I’ve always loved
how books can transport children into another world – the same way stories and characters did for me growing up.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some amazing clients, including DreamWorks, Marvel, Buster Books, Oxford University Press, Pearson, Scholastic and Penguin. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from picture books and activity books to licensed publishing, helping to bring stories, characters and ideas to life through thoughtful, creative design.
Alongside my publishing work, I also create stationery and surface pattern designs filled with bold colours, playful details and plenty
of personality. I’m particularly interested in licensing and love
seeing how creative ideas can evolve beyond the page into products, stationery and other exciting applications.

My style is fun, colourful and full of character and whether I’m designing a children’s book, creating a pattern collection or working on licensed publishing projects, my goal is always the same - to create work that connects with people and leaves them smiling.
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll usually find me reading a book,
out on a long walk, swigging large quantities of Pepsi Max or spending time with family and friends.

I’m always excited to collaborate on new creative projects so If you have a project in mind and think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you!
