Elegant & Sophisticated

Emily Green's graphics were an essential part of the success of the November 2010 American Craft Show NYC/Contemporary Art Fair NYC event at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City.

My agency was hired to help market, publicize and promote the shows. Emily worked for weeks without a day off designing eye-catching, striking postcards, e-cards, posters, program and print ads. She also designed the environmental graphics for the Javits Center's concourse, registration area and large LED outdoor sign. They consistently carried out the show's visual brand in an elegant and sophisticated way.

No matter how much she had on her plate, she responded immediately to queries and continued to design at top speed and quality, never missing a deadline.

With the work of almost 200 exhibitors to choose from, the visual balance, texture and appealing colors of the pieces she chose to feature complemented each other and promised the recipient a show filled with great things.

On top of her talent, Emily is a joy to work with!

World Class Service!

World Class Service! Emily's responsiveness is surpassed only by her creativity. We are a very small start up business with little time and talent for image & branding efforts. We were all over the place with "who we are" and "what we do". Emily was patient with us and quickly developed numerous concepts that clarified those issues in short order. Thanks Emily!

Easy to work with

Emily worked for me as a graphic designer for some time. Because of the nature of working at a small design studio, she was required to 'own' her projects and communicate with clients, both of which she did very well. She was always willing to learn something new and to grow as a designer. She has a great demeaner and is very easy to work with.

Clairvoyant

Emily's ability to translate a clients needs to a design borders on the clairvoyant. She has the ability to take multiple design concepts and create a concise and amazing end product. I'm looking forward to working with Emily again.

ALWAYS get a “Wow”

Emily Green designs with spectacular instincts, an eye for color that is brilliant and is a delight to work with!. Her work is prompt, she is patient and gives great advise. A very unique combination.
We are a children’s rock 'n' roll band and Emily designed our website, logo, icon, press kit, posters, business cards and much more. We  ALWAYS get a “Wow” from anyone that we show them too. She was able to give us a look that matched our “silly” personalities and at the same time gave us a professional flair. Having such beautiful publicity really makes a difference! We highly recommend Emily Green and will always use her when we need anything designed!
