BIO

Emily Nabnian is a designer, writer and art director.

I hate referring to myself in third person but I love a lot of
other things
. People often ask where
I am from
(London) and where I am now (online) and where
I might be found
(NY/Brazil sometimes) (email always)

Mostly they like to know how these things come together and contribute to who I am. Let’s talk and find out!
