HELLO! I'M EMMA.
I'm a designer and photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. I have an eye for detail, a love of creativity and a passion for visually communicating the most wonderful elements of a place, person or brand.

I love a loose pant, a good beat, the sky (!!), and would never pass on a dinner party (minus the eggs—I'm allergic).
