Graphic Designer for Makers
I know you’re creative, and I bet you can make amazing things…but that doesn’t mean you have to also make logos, websites, or even make your patterns on your own!
Quilters, crafters, painters, potters, knitters, whatever makers…you need a marketing creative who will speak your language, understand your audience and create marketing that brings you and your audience together. That’s Maker’s Creative! Let me help you with the graphic design, while you make your best products.
The products below are a great way to easily get started working with me. If you’re not ready to buy yet, and you just want to schedule a call to discuss the ways we can work together, let’s chat! Click the button below to schedule a meeting.

When I needed a new graphic image to represent me, Emma came through brilliantly. First, she asked critical questions to understand my interests and desires. She provided me with several options to consider just a few days later. Emma will assuredly come through for you, even if you might not know exactly what you're looking for.

Emma is so easy to work with! She is professional, prompt, and engaged in whatever project I need her help with. I love that she is a maker and understands sewing in 2 dimensions as well as 3 dimensions. Emma always uses her expertise to promote my vision, style, and branding.

Working with Emma was everything I hoped for in a graphic designer. She heard my thoughts and ideas, and came back with proposals that were even better than I expected! I highly recommend engaging with Emma to help with your website, logos, or whatever graphic designs you need!

Donita, DMAQG
I’ve worked with Emma since 2008, when I was Newsletter Editor for the Des Moines Area Quilters Guild. Even in the early days of paper newsletters, Emma delivered professional, timely layouts. Her creative talents really came to life when we transitioned to email newsletters—she now skillfully combines numerous articles to make each issue engaging and visually appealing.
Emma also built a well-organized, attractive website at dmaqg.org. Her work has given us a polished, inviting presence. I highly recommend Emma for any graphic design project.

I love quilting, sewing, fabric design, stuffed toy-making, screenprinting, painting, crochet, origami, playing with my cricut machine, etc. etc.
Lots of creative people have a similar list when someone asks them what they make! How about you? I want to help you focus on the creative things that light you up and let me help you with the parts of running a business that are better left to a professional graphic designer!
