¡Hola!
My name is Emijah, I am a Black American graphic design student, illustrator, and small business owner studying at the University of Northern Iowa. My illustrative work is focused on people of color, womanhood, and cultural identity.
As a graphic design and Spanish double major, I am in the first stages of exploring language within media and taking inspiration from my personal experiences to bridge the language gap within design and artistic experiences.
​
Outside of art, I spend my time with my cat Lillia, traveling, and finding new music to jam to!
Send me an email if you'd like to get in touch for a project!
