hello, my name is emerald and this website is my online portfolio. I graduated from Camberwell College of Arts with a degree in Graphic Design, and have been doing web design / illustration since.
My own website is an ongoing project, in order to get people all over to see my work, but also just to have some fun.
Anyway if you like what you see on the website - or even if you don't - mail me, I'd like some feedback!
