Emelia is a passionate designer with interests in branding and illustration, bolstered by her natural affinity with copywriting and brand language. On weekends you may find her devouring a Sichuan hot pot, discovering new music, or absorbing the wisdom of Alain de Botton. Often at the same time.

Having worked for luxury fashion brands Burberry and Stella McCartney, Donna moved into account management when moving to Sydney.

She is a self-confessed fan of David Attenborough and Riz Ahmed. For different reasons.
