Bio
Aaron Shimer
I worked for Emily on various interactive projects and a large-scale product catalog during her time at Ann Sacks. As an Art Director, I really appreciate that Emily understood what good design was and how to balance that with communications goals. We knew Emily "got it" and trusted that she knew the Ann Sacks brand inside and out. As a leader, her ability to make sensible decisions, stay realistic and offer valuable insight time-after-time on project challenges made her a huge value to any project we were working on. Her participation alone was a guarantee the project was going run smoothly, stay on time and on budget for us. Add to that her easy-going personable nature and Emily is, simply put, a pure joy to work with. We always looked forward to working with her.
