Emily Ahju An.

With 18 years’ experience in graphic design across branding, social and corporate communications – working with clients across healthcare, corporate and consumer brands – Ahju has had the chance to work across a broad mix of industries, audiences and creative challenges.

​​

Her favourite creative joys are:
 

• Tackling a design challenge and coming up with that little bit of creative magic that makes you go, “Oh, that’s clever.” An idea that not only answers the brief perfectly, but makes the brief feel like it couldn’t have been answered any other way.

​​​​

• Finding the simplest, smartest way to communicate an idea visually – because when a design is good, it looks effortless. 

​​​

• Colman’s mustard. Nothing like something so small and mighty that goes a very long way. A pretty good lesson in design, she says.
