Background

About Emily Olguin

With over a decade of agency experience, I’m a strategy-led designer who thrives at the intersection of creativity and purpose. I thrive when I’m solving problems through a different lens, bringing bold ideas to life, and always chasing meaningful and impactful work. Personally, I’m intrinsically creative and unapologetically passionate — someone who shows up with assertive energy, curiosity, and a healthy obsession with detail. Professionally, I’m driven by growth, a challenging brief, and celebrating the wins with others. My print-focused background gives me a solid grounding in production and supplier management (and yes, I’ve perfected the art of the gentle hustle for fast turnarounds). I’ve worked with social enterprises and brands committed to impact, which has shaped my values around inclusion, equity, and community. I’m also the kind of designer who learns brand guidelines like vows and becomes a low-key gatekeeper (in the best way). At my core, I value honesty, openness, and authenticity — I show up as I am, and I value others who do the same!
