"Companies level up with Emma! I was lucky enough to manage Emma directly at Rotary Watches on a number of marketing projects. Her attention to detail sets her apart from the rest and Emma's work would always come back better than the brief provided. I believe Emma's ability to think outside of project guidelines and approach design in refreshing ways, provided Rotary Watches with unique solutions, whilst sticking to core branding. The appearance of our brand and authenticity of content can be seen to improve vastly during Emma's employ at the company. Emma is more than a design asset for any company, as she continues to push the quality of her work and raise the standard for branding. This quality extended far beyond graphic design, with crossover roles that covered e-commerce, B2B marketing, training materials and in-store POS.
Emma will provide any company with powerful branding that all assets and creative can flow from."
"As Emma's direct line manager for the 3 years she worked for Value Retail, I can confirm that she is a highly skilled graphic designer. Her natural calm enabled her to transition from her apprenticeship to a full employment status with ease. She is innately mature and progressive: her analysis, reflection and suggestions are consistently relevant and creative. Her video expertise (filming and editing) makes her a very competent and complete Graphic Designer."
Hélène Leuwers / Senior Graphic Designer @ Value Retail – La Vallée Village"I have been working with Emma for the 3 years she spent at Value Retail. Not only she is a skilled graphic designer, her maturity, talent and passion has enable my team and I to go further and beyond our objectives. Emma is the perfect graphic designer: knowing how to use all the tools of her function but also the added value to understand the world she’s living in by always learning how to improve her job and being really aware of digital world and its ‘speediness’. She was efficient as a graphic designer and a digital content creator for website, CRM and social media which was key for us. Plus, it was lovely working with her: despite her young age, she has vision and understood fully business objectives. On top of that; she’s a pleasure to be around thanks to her kindness and sense of humour!"
