black and white photographic portrait of emily

Hi, Iā€™m Emily Foran

I am a multidisciplinary creative director and designer whose work has spanned art direction, branding, digital and print design, illustration, marketing campaigns, and production. I have 20 years of professional experience collaborating with clients and project partners whose values align with mine. My approach focuses on creative concepting, visual storytelling, and the end-user experience. Prior to going solo, I worked for two design agencies in San Francisco including Better World Advertising, where I led the design team on over 100 public service campaigns for government clients including the CDC, FDA, and Office for Civil Rights. These days, I work from a little house in the big woods in Maine where my patient husband and I are regularly outmaneuvered by our tween daughter and rescue pup.

I work directly with my clients and also collaborate with companies to provide freelance support; please contact me for availability.
