My college career began on a Tuesday morning as a business major in a cinder block hallway, waiting for my Shakespeare class.
A lot has changed since then, so let me catch you up. I'm Emily Walker Hall: a graphic designer with a degree from the Graphic Design BFA program at the University of Central Florida. (Go Knights!)
I have a passion for branding, cohesive campaign design, print design, and packaging. I love taking a design theme and applying it to a variety of different uses, in print and digital formats.

When I'm not at work, I can be found with friends, reading books, exploring the outdoors, longboarding, or at church.

Favorite quotes:
"Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of the rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motions of the stars, and they pass by themselves without wondering."
