Bio
Samantha Evans
I managed Emily while she worked at UK Trade & Investment. During this time she displayed a unique ability to detect and understand trends in the technology sector. Additionally, Emily excelled at assessing start-ups to determine their growth potential and the viability of their international expansion. She brings a strategic approach to any task she takes on and is able to easily connect the dots between opportunities and necessary action. She is a pleasure to work with and very well liked within the organisation and by clients.

Emily is an overall amazing person to work with. Not only is she a talented designer, she is a strong leader. My team and I could not have produced the work we did without her guidance. She is also an especially talented communicator, and I learned a lot by seeing how she communicated with our clients as our team's spokesperson. Her keen business understanding combined with her design sense made her an incredible asset to our team. I would strongly recommend working with Emily - she is one of those rare people who only brings positive qualities to the work she does.
