Emma grew up documenting every outdoor excursion and backcountry escape with field sketches of encountered wildlife, native flora, and rugged horizon lines. She received a B.A. in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Barbara, and a Post-Graduate Certificate in Science Illustration from California State University Monterey Bay, combining her passions in a fusion of scientific communication and visual creative media. With 5 years of design experience under her belt, she has held professional roles in science illustration, digital animation, graphic design, and social content creation and management. When not in the office, Emma can be found working on art projects, surfing, playing music, or backpacking in the Sierras.
