Hey there, nice to meet you!
I’m Emily, a freelance Senior Concept Artist/Illustrator based in London.
I pride myself in being highly organised and have a lifelong passion for exploring storytelling through narrative, unique character design and rich world building. I convey meaning using bright colours, lots of personality and a touch of humour!

Working on game titles from AAA, Indie, mobile & tabletop, for much loved household name IPs as well as forging brand new worlds. I strive to communicate my ideas through the limitless lens of wonder and imagination!
