Artist Biography
Emma Sibson is a graphic designer from West Hartford, Connecticut. From a very early age, she loved making crafts with whatever materials she could find around the house. She would collect paper and printed boxes, anything that was aesthetically pleasing to her. She especially loved vintage postcards and eye-catching journals. Emma had a sincere appreciation for colors, patterns, and making things with her hands. She made birthday cards, collages, and even movies for family members using old photographs. In high school, she took a graphic design elective, and she knew she had found her calling. She learned how to use computer programs to improve her designs and experimented with logos, flyers, package design, stop animation, photography, screen printing, and more. After taking three years of graphic design courses, Emma knew she wanted to continue her studies in college and turn her childhood love of patterns and colors into a career.
Throughout her years in college, Emma has established her signature brand of inviting color palettes, lively digital illustrations, and crafted typography. Her three internships have provided her with valuable experience in marketing, brand identity, advertising, and print production. Her dream is to start her own stationery brand with wrapping paper, journals, greeting cards, and even wallpaper. She has recently gone back to her crafting roots and has been incorporating a more hand-drawn, textured style into her designs. She is inspired by whimsical graphic designers like Alan Fletcher and Saul Bass, and she strives to maintain her childlike wonder for design in all of her work.
One of Emma’s favorite aspects of graphic design is its endless opportunities. As she searches for a job in the New England area, she is excited to grow as a designer and expand on her skill set.
