My name is Emma Smart and I am a Sydney-based visual communications designer, specialising in publication and typographic design, as well as branding, visual identity, and storytelling. My design is playful and thoughtful, with a deep appreciation for beauty and the natural world. I like to bring a hand-drawn, raw aesthetic to digital projects and I don’t see a contradiction between functionality and fun. I care about the way my work impacts the world and other people.
