Hi I’m Emma, an independent illustrator, art director and designer based in London (but I have a New Zealand accent, an Italian surname, and I was formerly a New Yorker).

 

I’ve been gainfully employed in the design & advertising biz for just shy of two decades, working on almost every kind of project imaginable; from branding to editorial, print to digital, tiny icons to global campaigns. Above the line. Below the line. Squiggly line. Speaking of squiggly lines, my illustration work has featured in publications like Juxtapoz and Things & Ink, strutted down the runway of New Zealand Fashion Week and hung from the walls of The London Illustration Fair. I’m also a member of the Association of Illustrators.

 

When I’m off duty, I love to write, sew ugly/cool clothes, play the guitar once every 6 months and watch really embarrassing reality TV.

 

Ok, that’s enough about me. Your turn…

If you think I might be a good fit for your upcoming project, drop me a line at emma.zanelli@gmail.com.
