Hi, I’m Emi.
Several years ago, I once told someone,
“I just want to make cool stuff that works”
I think that’s still true
I’ve been working in the design industry since 2010, chasing a dream to use technology and design to make ideas into reality.
I like Dungeons & Dragons, Type II fun, and a good French pastry.
