WHAT IS A SPOOKY SHEP?
AND WHAT'S WITH ALL THE COWBOY HATS?
About the Designer
Hello! I'm Emmi, the creative force behind Spooky Shep Studios, a graphic design and illustration studio based in Southeastern Ohio. With over six years of experience in branding, illustration, and marketing, I specialize in crafting distinctive visual identities that help small businesses stand out.​
Passion for Design Rooted in the Midwest
Growing up on a Midwestern farm, I developed a deep appreciation for rural life and horseback riding, participating in 4-H horse shows. This "horse-girl" background sparked my initial interest in art, with horses being my first drawing subjects. Today, I incorporate cowboy hats into my illustrations as a nod to my roots and to add a whimsical touch to my work. Check out my Instagram to see these charming details in action.
Creative Background
& Journey
My artistic journey began early, taking every available art class throughout my schooling. In high school, I specialized in Commercial Art and Design, gaining proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. I further honed my skills at the School of Advertising Art in Dayton, Ohio, expanding my expertise to include the full Adobe Creative Suite, Acrobat, Lightroom, and basic HTML/CSS.
