Joel Gregorio
Founder + Creative Director at the Sovereign State

Emily is truly a creative asset in conceiving concepts and designing interesting and unique approaches to challenges. Emily has an intuitive and instinctual perspective and can see solutions that many cannot.

A great team builder and collaborator, Emily thrives when working with like-minded people focused on powerful goals. I highly recommend Emily as a valuable creative asset to any team.

Meredith Holbrook
Founder of Rily

Emily Soo is the complete package. Her work speaks for itself: innovative, thought-provoking and beautiful. 

I admire Emily's work, but especially her work ethic. She listens to every abstract idea we throw at her, and turns it into art far beyond our expectations. She is attentive, professional, creative and - most importantly - a joy to work with.

Matt Rennick
Former Creative Director at Jackman

Emily is a thoughtful and talented creative who wonderfully balances the hand-hewn, instinctual nature of an artist with the care and consideration of a traditional designer — working with her is an absolute treat.

Johnny Hockin & Nina Gilmour Founders of Juniper Island

We love working with Emily. She brings a high standard of work and professionalism. She also makes working with her easy. She is dependable, balancing her self-sufficiency with clear communication. She cares about our projects. And from time to time if we run into trouble, as any team that's been working together this long does, she pulls up her sleeves with us and we figure it out. We love her attitude and initiative, and her ability to get things done.

Shawn Lambino
Design Director at Anomaly

Emily is an absolute pleasure to work with. A consummate professional, conceptually sharp and skillful collaborator. Her holistic approach to design thinking will always be a welcome addition to my team.

Jonathan Careless
CEO + President at Narrowcontent

Emily was a pleasure to work with. She immediately understood the scope and importance of each project and always came back with lots of great options. She was collaborative and very open to feedback. Emily was also super well organized and always hit our deadlines. I would definitely reach out to her again for future projects. 

Cassie Xu
Director, Office of Education and Outreach at Columbia Climate School

I had the pleasure of working with Emily for an education and outreach event for the Columbia Climate School. She created a series of cards featuring our scientists along with various activities for learners to further engage with the content. The designs were clever, clean, and well-received by everyone who received them.

Emily was professional, quick to respond, and easy to work with. She also took feedback very well and we went through numerous iterations of the content. She was always extremely prepared and carefully listened to the client’s needs. I would highly recommend her for any creative projects and look forward to future opportunities to work with her again.

Maye Kunu
Experience Design Researcher

Emily took the time to understand my vision and personal preferences, and gave advice to put us on the path to accomplishing the end goal. Week after week, she kept me in the loop by showing progress on each piece presentation-style which was a great way to keep the project on track. During this time, we developed a great rapport and often spent a part of each meeting in conversation about other things. 

In the end, I was very excited and pleased with the outcome. I can’t recommend Emily highly enough and look forward to working with her on other projects.

Rachelle Letain
Art Director at Maven

Emily is a conscientious collaborator who excels at communication and executes thoughtful design solutions. She is someone I have returned to more than once when the need for a freelancer designer’s support has come up.

Working with Emily is a pleasure - she is personable, prompt, responsive, patient, and graciously accepts feedback. I look forward to the opportunity to work with Emily again in the future.
