My name is Emanuel but friends and colleagues call me Em — yes, like the dash! I'm an editorial and brand designer with ten years of experience, working across lifestyle magazines, brand and design agencies, and finance marketing. That mix sounds like a strange combination on paper, but it's given me a comfortable range and made me equally at home crafting a typographic system for a corporate report as I am laying out a fashion editorial.

Outside of work, I'm happiest when I'm on my bike or wandering the aisles of a supermarket in a new city I've just landed, checking out the local produce and all the cool packaging. I'm also a little obsessed with photographing buildings, facades especially, and tend to experience a new place as much through its architecture and urban landscape as anything else.
