Emelie Johnson

Hi, I’m Emelie. With 15+ years of experience in the graphic design and marketing industry, it’s safe to say this whole branding thing is kind of my jam.

Through my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a vast range of brands in both the agency and freelance environment. I will forever love the process of bringing concepts to life and translating ideas into compelling visual narratives. When I’m not peering over the top of my computer, you can find me hosting kitchen dance parties with my daughters, devouring a book on my kindle, or daydreaming about my next adventure.
