Hello, I'm Em :) I'm a designer, director, & illustrator recently graduated with a BS in Entertainment Design from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, CA. I also spent some time in France studying 2D Animation at GOBELINS Paris.
I love finding weird & fun ways to enhance storytelling with shapes + lines and combining graphic choices with characters in motion :D
Very comfortable with dialing stylization up or down depending on the project! I come from a background in fine arts & illustration, where I was enrolled in classes at RISD from 2019-2021.
I'm from New Jersey/NYC metro area, based in Pasadena, CA; willing to relocate domestically or abroad for work.
When not working on animation related pursuits, I enjoy vending art at markets, cafe sketching, researching cuteness, & weightlifting. I have become somewhat of a Cuteness Connoisseur lately :~)
I like making things that aren't cute too, I promise...
Available for full time & freelance in character/prop design, 2D animation, compositing, children's books, & consumer products. (or something else! message me with any inquiries, and let's find out what I can do for you!)
More work can be found on my instagram @fogluvr and I can be reached by email at em@emhams.art.
Thank you for looking at my portfolio!
