Coming at ya from sweet home Alabama, I am a brand identity designer and consultant partnering with creative entrepreneurs to build strong, intentional, and successful brands. Most days you will find me at my desk surrounded by mood boards, notepads, and a strong cappuccino (or two). I have a bachelors degree in graphic design and started Emily Wells Design in 2013 where all great businesses start- at the kitchen table!

In the past 8 years I have grown a team of designers, administrators, and interns and have worked with clients in Canada, Europe, Australia, India, Asia, and right here the US. We are honored to work with a variety of businesses ranging from restaurants, artists, influencers, family owned shops and Fortune 500 companies, while still staying true to our design style and standards.

We pride ourselves in having a clean design style that translates through a range of industries and aesthetics, while staying true to our standards of design. We listen carefully to your vision and gather thorough information so that we can effectively conceptualize your ideas into a successful brand identity. Typography is really important to us, and we love how a font alone can tell an entire story, so we invest time researching and studying the right fonts for your brand. We work with each individual letterform and explore how they might puzzle-piece together. We explore elements completely unique to your brand, and every design detail we create has intention and meaning- nothing is “just because.

We focus on hierarchy and always consider the viewers experience, making sure that what is most important will be seen first. We love focusing on the small details that make a big impact.

Our goal is to create branding that will last you a minimum of 5 years, so we stay informed of trends and steer clear of anything that would become dated quickly. Brand cohesiveness is priority, so we ensure that all facets of your brand are designed well and in harmony with one another. This cohesion leads to brand recognition, which leads to brand trust, which leads to brand growth, and that’s our goal with every project and client.

I discovered my love for both design and entrepreneurship as a teenager while working at a really slow job with a heaven-sent copy of photoshop on my computer. I taught myself the basics and started an online stationery shop. I sold at craft shows, to my friends, and eventually to people all over the US, whom I have no idea how they found me- before the boom of social media.

I then went to college to study design, and began taking on freelance jobs while in school. I set a goal to be able to have my own business upon graduation college, and in December 2013, I flipped the tassle and EWD began.

I experienced the most growth in my business when I really branded myself and honed in on my niche- the work I am doing now! I am passionate about the branding process, because I’ve seen how beneficial it can be, both for myself and my clients. It allows for growth, it brings clarity, it saves time, and so much more.

Outside of brand design, I love interior design, and enjoy decorating (and re-decorating) my home with thrift shop treasures and art I’ve collected from cities I’ve travelled to. I also love fashion and when I’m daydreaming, I might be designing the clothing that will go in my Paris fashion show that will most likely never exist but that I like to plan out in vivid detail.

I am a mama to Claire, my daughter who has an advanced sense of humor for a toddler and a smile that lights up any room. My husband, Josh, also has an award winning smile (literally- he got best smile in high school) and a gift of impersonations- maybe where my daughter derives some of her humor ;). We like to spend summer weekends at the lake (yours truly is a pretty good water skier) and fall weekends watching college football. We love good music and kitchen dance parties are a staple in our home. We keep The Office and Friends on repeat and if that’s wrong we don’t want to be right.

Let's talk about you for a sec. You are starting a business, or are established and ready to rebrand for the next phase of growth. You've carefully considered investing in design, and are looking for someone who will really listen to your ideas and translate them into a brand that is authentic, intentional, and successful.

You are tired of hesitating when someone asks for your website address, or when you have to pull out an outdated business card, or when you share a brand that just doesn’t feel like you anymore. You’re ready to invest in professional branding that you feel excited and inspired to share and one that makes your job easier moving forward.
