Hi! My name is Emma (she/her) and I’m a queer digital designer and illustrator currently living in Bed Stuy with my husband. I’m a first generation American, raised by a British dad and a Taiwanese mum.

During lockdown I realised my desire to pursue work that was more meaningful to me and that drew on my lifelong love of illustration and visual arts (pun intended). I’m thrilled to have discovered a career where the work I do is so varied, where I get to draw on a vast array of skills, and where my ADHD brain constantly has something new to focus on. After years of freelancing I can comfortably say I’m a top notch multitasker with a wealth of experience juggling multiple projects with tight deadlines. I believe communication is the key to good work and I’m passionate about helping my clients realise their visions.

Outside of work, I love doing circus things like flying trapeze, aerial hoop, and pole dancing. I also enjoy gaming (my favourite game is Outer Wilds, followed closely by Stardew Valley), jigsaw puzzles, rainy weather, and watching YouTube video essays.

Please feel free to reach out to me at emmalinghwei@gmail.com for inquiries, commission requests, or just to say hello!
