Emily(Em) Schaefer

I’ve always known that I wanted to pursue a career that challenges me everyday to grow and innovate. In the years following the completion of my undergrad, I harnessed immense skills in design and visual communications. My desire to express ideas through creative thinking continues to grow as I expand my skills and work with incredible professionals from around the world. Driven by my continued hunger to redefine and sharpen my skills, I've expanded my knowledge into the business world by completing higher education at the University College Dublin Michael Smurfit Business School. With my Master's in Digital Marketing, I can now fully dedicate my career to creative problem-solving at the highest level.

Honoring my combined experience and dedicated focus on learning within the fields of design and marketing, I am continually strengthening my ability to aid companies in adding value to their business. I look to research and data to help shape and support solutions while also assessing creative opportunities through my unique design perspective.
