Hi, I'm Emily!
I'm an independent graphic designer and passion project
enthusiast.
Since 2013, I’ve been building micro-businesses online, and I always seem to have a new project or hobby up my sleeve. Currently, I'm on a mission to grow my Tiny Business Empire from pocket change into my full-time income!
I also write a newsletter about creative side quests and small-scale entrepreneurship on Substack called
Extracurricular Pursuits.
Let's chat! hello@emilyannhill.com
A collection of passion projects, creative ventures and entrepreneurial experiments.
E-Commerce Shops
Niche online shops that I've built from scratch, designing the branding, websites, and all of the products.
Hand-Illustrated Fonts
First sketched on paper and later turned into usable type, these original fonts are full of personality and intentional imperfections.
Personal essays about my creative side quests, the occasional unexpected detour, and my pursuit of a happy, meaningful life.
