My name is Emily Anness, and I'm an
interdisciplinary designer and marketing strategist.
As the Graphic Design Lead at IBM supporting the Air Force Civil Engineers, I combine strategic thinking with creative execution to deliver mission-driven visual communications. I lead a multidisciplinary design team, serving as the key bridge between clients, project stakeholders, and creative staff to ensure alignment, collaboration, and efficient workflows.
​
I also paint, love good coffee shops, and like to take on new hobbies (arguably too many).
