A better future is for all of us to design, together.
ABOUT
ESIDE⋮ is a multidisciplinary community of designers and creatives who blend discovery, play, and proven systems to help organizations lead with purpose, and thrive long term.
We partner with founders and teams who are writing their own playbook, choosing an intentional path where values drive the strategy.
They believe work can feel different. That life can look different.
They’re building companies that reflect their values, rooted in purpose and built to last.
They know that doing things the right way takes time, creativity, and thoughtful design. And that’s where we come in.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Emma distills scattered ideas and visions into focused plans of action, integrating design into every step.
With a background in industrial design, art, and visual communication, Emma founded ESIDE⋮ to create alongside people she admires. Today, she partners with inspired individuals committed to making great things happen in the world.
Her work bridges strategy and execution. Emma listens deeply, then shapes both what to do and how to do it.
For Emma, design is an optimistic lens on the world. Creating is how we shape the future, and a better future is something we must design together.
By harnessing the power of design, creativity, and communication, we help organizations stay true to themselves, connect with their audience, and bring more of their valuable work into the world. Together, we make thoughtful choices—ones that benefit people and the planet, while building something built to last.
Creation begins from within. That’s why we partner with brilliant, values-aligned humans who share what I hold most deeply:
Be Curious
Lead with questions, listen intently, learn and teach passionately.
Do Good Work
Create things that add something valuable and beautiful into the world.
Embrace Diversity
Explore unique perspectives that make our ideas and our work better.
Be Courageous
Think, speak, and act with conviction, from the heart.
Be Good to Each Other
Keep your head up, encourage each other, and enjoy yourself.
By creating collaborations where people feel heard, inspired, and challenged, we seek to make ESIDE⋮ a creative platform of service and a source of fulfillment.
What you won’t learn from Emma’s bio:
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve been making photo collages. I think that perfectly illustrates how I feel about the world, the people in it, and the work I love to do: bringing together pieces that make sense, and sometimes take on new meaning, when combined.”
