Hello

Hi, I’m Emily Finesilver — a surface/graphic designer and 2D animator based in Atlanta, Georgia.

My work is rooted in illustration and storytelling, often blending playful characters, decorative motifs, and cozy, narrative-driven design. I specialize in creating seamless patterns and animated moments that feel both nostalgic and fresh — whether it’s frogs perched on Honeycrisp apples or mice hiding in pancake stacks.

I’m particularly drawn to themes inspired by nature, folk art, and vintage textiles, and I love building small visual worlds through color, composition, and character. My surface design work includes bedding, wallpaper, apparel, and home goods, and I’m always interested in how patterns interact with real spaces.

When I’m not illustrating or animating, I’m traveling, running, designing pajamas for my own sleepwear line, or finding excuses to combine frogs with food.​

Thanks for visiting my portfolio!
