Hi, I'm Emma.

I am

Apart from my design work, I am passionate about my family, friends, and music-filled car rides. When I'm not working on solo projects, you can find me reading, hiking, or spending time with loved ones.

About my process

Emma Bawiec’s work prioritizes creating immersive, cohesive brand identities. Blending bold typography, intentional layouts, and a contemporary edge. Her work emphasizes clarity, accessibility, and experimentation with concepts, resulting in immersive visuals that remain direct yet personal. Influenced by Swiss Typographic style and Post-Modernism, as well as modern artists such as Elisha Zepeda and Armin Hofmann, she approaches graphic design as a tool for problem-solving, rooted in accessibility and meaningful visual storytelling, creating a space for experimentation and exploration within her work.

Working across a broad range of media such as posters, brand identity systems, package design, web design, and book design, Emma demonstrates a generalist, fluid approach that adapts to diverse visual languages and styles. Her versatile portfolio of work displays her ability to balance visual interest with usability, ensuring designs remain both engaging and effective.
