from pixels to paintbrushes.
hi, i’m emily prince.
When I was a kid, my dream job was to be a “famous artist.” I loved art in all forms, and still do. My mom loves to tell people about how I would watch Bob Ross with my nose practically pressed to the TV for as long as I could when I was still in my walker. Throughout the years I learned to draw, paint (thanks Bob Ross), play several instruments, dance, and was introduced to Photoshop early on while working on art projects in middle school. As I grew up, wanting to be a famous artist turned into simply wanting to create designs that the world would see. Today, that is done much more successfully through graphic and web design. My favorite thing to do is to find and create someone’s brand by taking their vision for themselves to a level that they would never expect it to go.
I like to have variety in my life, so in the past few years, I have expanded my artistic skills to photography and videography. I love having a camera in my hand. Before smart phones, I took my digital camera wherever I went. Today, the photo album on my phone is filled with captured moments in my life, some “outfit of the day” selfies, and mostly pictures of my dogs and cats. On my computer, I have albums of captured beautiful moments from proposals and engagements, to senior portraits, to family photos and more, as well as experimenting with studio lighting and green screens for professional videos for businesses. I love it all even more now that I have taught myself what it all actually entails, and I love that I can keep learning new things with these skills.
When I’m not designing, photographing, producing a video, or creating any sort of art, I’m probably at home with my two cats, two dogs, and husband, working on a new sewing or knitting project, finding something to paint, traveling the world, or shopping for a new clothing item that I definitely *need* (but cannot fit into my closet).
Today, if you asked me about my dream job, I would say that I would love to be a multimedia designer in the fashion or beauty world, combining two things I love so I can be surrounded by all of the things that make me happy every day.
