Hey! I’m Emily!!! I want this to be as chill & personal as possible so I thought that I would introduce myself by sharing some facts that are my token “fun” facts whenever I’m put on the spot.

  • Summer is my very favorite and I’ve started theming my summers after my favorite movies! Summer 2022 was a Top Gun: Maverick summer through and through. Summer 2023: Mamma Mia Summer complete with a trip to the island of Skopelos to see all the film locations! I went with my mom and it was a trip we’ll be talking about for our whole lives!

  • I have a few irrational fears that double as conversation starters because of how irrational they are. Minions, the Kool-Aid man, Johnny Depp’s rendition of Willy Wonka, and the live action Cat in the Hat (2003) just to name a few.

  • My husband and I were set up by my best friend at her wedding. Our story has been so fun and such a tangible way of seeing God’s hand over all the little & big things!

  • I LOVE pop-up books and cards! I know there’s a logical explanation for how they do what they do but I just choose to believe it’s magic!!!

A LIL BIT OF MY STORY!

I’ve loved video for as long as I can remember, but I started taking it serious in college. My college didn’t have a film program at the time I attended, so I looked for extracurricular opportunities to create videos and learn new skills. I ended up creating a video series for my university’s admissions office showing prospective students around campus and around the city of Birmingham. During this time, video became one of my favorite things ever! I took on freelance projects around campus, created travel videos of my own, and took my camera with me wherever I went!

DREAM! COME! TRUE!

After college, I moved to LA to pursue a career in film. I had this big dream in my head to be a film editor in Hollywood! While there, I got the opportunity to work on some Marvel Studios projects with some incredible editors and had to pinch myself once a day to make sure I wasn’t dreaming it all up! I learned so much and was poured into by so many people out there that have been in the business for decades.

 

With all the film industry strikes, the project I was on was halted indefinitely. Sounds like a very sad story, but it really was just a pivot of big dreams to someplace else!

I decided that I could still go after the creative things I love & make videos & graphics—just for people and brands I meet rather than for the big studios!

One of my favorite parts of wedding planning was making my custom signage & invite suite! From bridesmaids proposals to our signature dessert signs to our ceremony programs, I had the best time creating graphics & final products that felt like us as a couple!

I’d always used hand-drawn graphics for supplement in my videos, but getting to create paper goods for my wedding lit a fire in me and hand-drawing graphics has become one of my favorite things!

Married & Maui’d!

My husband and I got married last year & moved to Maui! I have a full-time job outside of creative work, but I’m hoping to take on more projects to really grow and get to do more of what I’m made to do.

Video & graphics that tell your story are such a gift — how cool to have something that you can go back to & relive the best days again and again!

My hope in creating is really just that — to recognize that it’s all such a gift, and to use it well!
