Hi, I'm Emma Smillie!
I am a senior at Alma College, majoring in Art and Design and New Media Studies, and based in Oxford, MI.
My current focus is on building up my portfolio, and my hope is to work in graphic design after graduation.
I am incredibly passionate about art and love to create and draw in my free time. I have experience working with creation tools such as the Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, and Procreate (for iPad), and I pride myself on my attention to detail and compassion.
