ABOUT
ESIDE⋮
Is a one-person design and creativity hub, born with a clear purpose: to create honest work that moves minds and hearts, and contributes to a more sustainable, informed, and inclusive future.
HELLO, I’M EMMA.
I am an Argentinian —now Boulder-based— designer and producer.
I like to think that design found me. I have always been fascinated by the arts and the impact they have on human emotions, but also by the mechanical and scientific side that has contributed to the evolution of humankind. That's why, when the words Industrial Design appeared before me on the cover of a book, I felt like that name was speaking to all my curiosities.
So I trained as an industrial designer, artist, and communicator, and I took the best of these three worlds and founded ESIDE⋮, where I create a path to help organizations bring their imagination to reality in a way that's understood and valued by the audience they want to serve.
My line of work bridges the gaps between idea, research, strategic thinking, and design doing, meaning I enjoy listening to other people’s thoughts, and then figuring out both what to do and how to do it.
To me design is about an optimistic understanding of the world, and creating is a way to materialize ideas and projects that shape the future.
I design to show people better things are possible.
I create to make that transformation happen.
By using the power of design, creativity, and communication I help companies and organizations be authentic, meet their audience, and create more of their valuable work. Together we work to make good choices for people, profit, and our planet.
The process of creation starts from within, that’s why I partner with brilliant and talented humans who share the values that I hold deeply:
Be Curious
Lead with questions, listen intently, and learn and teach passionately.
Do Good Work
Create things that get results, make you proud, and make someone else’s day.
Embrace Diversity
Explore unique perspectives that make our ideas and our work better.
Act Courageously
Think, speak, and act with conviction and common sense.
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, I seek to make ESIDE⋮ a platform of service and a source of fulfillment.
What you won’t learn from my bio:
“I don't remember when or how I started, but I've always been making photo-collages. I think that illustrates really well how I feel about the world, the people who inhabit it, and the work I like to do:
a combination of pieces that make sense, and even re-purpose, when put together.”
