Greetings! My name is Emma Randall and I am a strategic graphic designer and adaptive problem-solver. Over the years I have gained invaluable experience working across extremely diverse industries. I’ve sharpened my expertise in Adobe CC, Google/Microsoft Suites, Figma, Wordpress, prepress, and editorial design. You wear a lot of hats as a designer, but I am always seeking better tools and approaches to get the job done. I have also grown as a leader by always being an active and empathetic team-player. I'm so excited to keep learning and evolving through new creative challenges.
In 2019, I led Printing Industry Midwest's "Print Is Everywhere" campaign, working with Prisma Graphics to enhance my packaging design and pre-press skills. This collaboration gave me valuable insight into the printing industry as we experimented with various finishing techniques to create a striking package of informational materials.
That same year, I started my journey at Runbeck Election Services, progressing from Graphic Designer to Director of Marketing over the course of 3 years. My experience in the election industry equipped me with the skills to handle high-pressure situations and resolve issues swiftly.
In 2020, I launched “The Zwilight Tone,” a digital and print zine that featured the writings, illustrations, photography, and creative works of over 40 artists during COVID isolation. Over three published issues, the zine became an outlet for Valley creatives during a challenging time.
In 2023 I became Art Director at Phoenix New Times. I collaborated with various artists and photographers to design and direct both cover artwork and editorial layout. I also had the privilege of developing the visual identity for the 2024 "Best of Phoenix" issue.
When I'm not photosynthesizing in front of my glowing computer screen, you’ll find me hunting through Los Feliz thrift stores, roller-skating along the LA river, or indulging in the latest horror/thriller at the Vista Theater.
