hello there

I’m Emily

I'm a designer, creative strategist, and professional overthinker of how people experience spaces.

I love good coffee, organized systems, making things, and turning "I have no idea where to start" into "ohhh, now I see it."

I couldn’t pick a lane between interiors and graphics. Turns out, I didn’t have to.

I’ve always been a maker of some sort. As a kid, I was constantly redecorating my room and rearranging my Barbie houses. I eventually studied interior design in college, where I accidentally fell in love with graphic design, too. By then, it was a little late to change majors, so I taught myself.

Best accidental career decision I ever made.

After 12+ years in experiential design, I’ve found my niche somewhere in the middle. I understand space, but I’m also a brand nerd. I love figuring out how the two can work together; how a brand can move beyond the screen and actually live in a space.

Eventually, I realized I didn’t want another job title or another rung on the ladder. I wanted a little more freedom to do the work I love, in a way that feels like me. That’s Sulli.

When I’m not designing, I’m usually with my family, planning our next adventure, making something, or convincing myself that taking up yet another creative hobby is a perfectly reasonable idea.

Cheers!

So, what do I actually do?

I design branded spaces — bringing together interiors, environmental graphics, storytelling, and strategy to create experiences that feel cohesive from the big picture down to the smallest detail.

A few places I’ve left my mark

From collegiate athletics and professional sports to higher education, corporate, hospitality, and cultural environments.
