Emma Van Zaane 
Visual Designer

Visual Design · Branding · Illustration · Styling

Emma's creative career started long before she made the transition into the world of design, with over a decade of experience working in high fashion and styling.

Throughout this time she gained skills that transfer seamlessly to the design industry – she is highly attuned to client needs and has a deep understanding of what translates visually across both two and three dimensional mediums.

After deciding to refocus her career in 2014, Emma pursued an Advanced Diploma in Visual Communication. During her studies she was listed as a finalist in both the Brisbane Advertising and Design Club Awards and Design Institute Australia's Young Graduate of the Year.

Her fashion background influences her creative aesthetic. Textures, layers and colour combine to produce elegant, highly considered work. This aesthetic spills into her styling practice, where she effortlessly combines products and garments to create bold, impactful visuals. She is also a skilled illustrator, with an ability to craft highly detailed, realistic works from graphite – a talent has been nurtured since a young age through her creative family environment.  

As her love for creativity started at a young age, Emma hopes to inspire other young people to pursue creative careers. As such, she has taught illustration as a volunteer art teacher and worked alongside Claudio, supporting several community-focused creative projects.
