Hi, I'm Emy.
As a design and media-trained marketing communications professional with over 7 years of work experience, I bring a dynamic blend of creativity and strategic thinking to every project. I have cultivated a deep understanding of content creation, brand, and product marketing across diverse industries such as nonprofit, healthcare, technology, F&B, hospitality, manufacturing, and luxury goods, navigating both B2B and B2C landscapes.
With a solid foundation in design and digital marketing, I excel at guiding brands through their marketing and communication journeys, from initial concept to full-scale execution. My passion is fueled by digital transformation, and I've had the privilege of leading this shift for several brands, implementing cutting-edge practices in communication design, content development, and digital and experiential marketing.
My focus is to leverage data and design communications to bridge the gap between creativity and digital marketing. Currently, I'm looking forward to furthering my journey and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this fast-evolving digital landscape.
