about me

hi! nice to meet you, I'm emily pawlaczyk.

I'm a visual communication designer based in Cleveland, OH. I specialize in branding, packaging & CPG Design, UX/UI Design, and print & digital design.

my approach

Design should look good, feel intentional, and serve a purpose.

I believe the strongest design comes from bringing visual storytelling and thoughtful problem-solving together.

how I work

From understanding the problem to refining the final detail.

01

Understand

I start by getting to know the project, its audience, and its goals. Research and discovery help me uncover the ideas that can shape a stronger design direction.

02

Explore

I translate those insights into concepts, experimenting with typography, color, imagery, and moodboards to find a direction that feels both strategic and cohesive.

03

Refine

Through iteration and feedback, I push the design further by refining the details, strengthening the system, and making sure every element works together.

04

Deliver

The final result is a cohesive, polished design built to work across the appropriate touchpoints, from physical packaging and print to digital experiences.
