With over a decade in the design world, I am an artist to my core. In previous roles, I have worked as a content creator, graphic designer and marketing specialist for several companies over the years before taking the plunge and starting my own agency – Em Bender Designs.
My personal style can be described as colorful, eclectic and joyful, as I love for my art to spark happiness in every way. This aesthetic trends towards the maximalist, with layered textures, rich colors, and pops of visual interest.
I pull inspiration from many sources – my upbringing on a rural sheep farm, perpetual trips to hole-in-the-wall antique shops, world travels far and wide, and my connections to other artisans, photographers and designers.
I am continually adding to the public art in my community and beyond. Check out these places to see my work up close!
My art interests are varied and vast; when I’m not working, you may find me sewing or sketching, painting or pottering. Visit some of my passion projects in a gallery near you!
