Emma is an Eora/Sydney-based designer, specialising in brand and motion design. She graduated with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication from UTS before starting her role at For The People. Her work has been recognised by D&AD, AGDA and The International Society of Typographic Designers. 

She is lead by a curious mind that loves to get to the heart of what delights and intrigues us. Always restless to delve into a bright new world or idea, she is excited by the constantly evolving ways in which we can communicate through design (particularly through a motion lens).

Friends of Friends Festival

Friends of Friends is an electronic music and arts festival set in the bushlands of Dharug country. I was engaged by the team to refresh the visual identity for it’s third and most ambitious instalment in 2024. The brand needed to signify the festival’s growth and progression, while honouring it’s humble origins as a passion project started by a group of friends.



The identity draws upon the convergence of technology and nature, weaving elements of the Australian bush throughout. It features footage shot on-site and 3D organic metals (made in collaboration with Tom Philpott). These elements are tied together by a motion-forward system made to live online and reflect the high energy of the event. Finally, we developed an open-source set of animated stickers that could be used by patrons during the event and merchandise to get the community involved in the brand.

I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation as the traditional owners of the land on which I live and work. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
