Artist Note
I think a lot about the handmade nature of things, how striving for perfection is futile, how the same is true of life, love, and marriage. I’ve concluded that much like life, the best art I can create is not pristine, but honest. I am not a machine, I cannot draw a perfect straight line, I will not optimize the soul out of me in the name of cleanliness. I am a person, my earthly body trembles at the shocking beauty of being alive. My bleeding heart is all over every piece of my work. Every shaky curve and hand tied ribbon a part of me that I give for the sake of people being in love.
So I will keep drawing and melting wax and dipping my pen and spilling ink the way people keep falling in love over and over again despite it all, tumbling toward togetherness day by day, one leap of faith after another.
With love,
Emily
“I am not in pursuit of perfection, but of tangible beauty and the romantic truth of being human.”
My Approach
I believe every love story is beautiful and deserves to be celebrated every single day, far beyond you say ‘I do’. Setting the stage for the wedding of your dreams begins with your guests’ first impression. The moment the first wax seal is popped open, guests are transported to your vision for your marriage. I bring your dream to life by designing an invitation or day-of goods collection that’s perfectly you.
I bring over 10 years of expertise to my creative practice, with a foundation rooted in print design. When I’m not designing, you can find me working in my home orchard, playing with my two big dogs, or cooking up a new recipe with my husband.
Creation
Once your vision is established, I’ll pour my heart into bringing it all together. The sketchpad comes out, ink is spilled, wax is melted, and ribbons are tied. All the little details will come to life and you’ll soon hold part of your fairytale in your hands.
Collaboration
You are at the heart of my work. Serving my couples and bringing their dreams to life is why I love what I do so much. We’ll work together to tell your story and curate your unique vision.
