Hi, I’m Emily


A freelance designer and founder of Simmons Digital, an independent design studio based in Canada . Since 2016, I’ve worked across industries and disciplines, partnering with brands at every stage, from early ideas to global agencies to help them achieve their goals through a tailored mix of creative strategy and intentional, user-focused design.

How does that play out? It depends. Sometimes it’s creative direction or branding, sometimes it’s building a websites or wider digital landscapes. Other times it’s graphics, motion, or custom illustration. Whatever the project, my approach centers on putting strategy before aesthetics and designing with the end user in mind to produce results that don’t just look good, they help your business scale.
