About
I’m Emily.
As a designer, I develop interactive strategies and lead the design and development processes for web, mobile, and experiential projects. My design work and functional prototypes span many types of media. I have a strong inclination to innovate and experiment with new ideas, though find a balance by thoroughly understanding the best practices of my field.
Recent projects include working with Moey, Inc. as the Senior Interactive Design Lead for the AT&T Global Network Operations Center Gallery, the National Guard’s Energy Lab initiative (a traveling interactive exhibit), and interactive books for NBC’s Education Nation Learner Pavilion at Rockefeller Center. For each of these projects, the client was seeking high tech and elegant design solutions that successfully communicated to a wide audience.
Before working with Moey, Inc., I was at ESI Design leading the creation of innovative social spaces and intuitive communication platforms to help clients and their audiences interact. Projects of note include the JFK Museum and Library website and the Eisenhower Presidential Memorial. The Dwight Eisenhower Presidential Memorial was a design proposal won in collaboration with Frank Gehry and Partners. My role as the Lead Information Designer allowed me to lead the strategy, concept, and working prototypes of all the digital media. Throughout my career, I have led successful mobile, web, exhibit, and retail projects for both cultural and corporate clients.
I have recently been a guest lecturer at NYU, Pratt, and the Mobilize! Festival. I hold a BA with Honors in Studio Art and Earth Sciences from Earlham College and a Masters from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.
