Emily Dove is living her dream of working as a freelance illustrator in the San Francisco area, where she is easily inspired by the redwood forests, dramatic cliffs, and occasional whale tails. After graduating from the Ringling College of Art & Design in 2007 with a BFA in Illustration, Emily began her career as a designer for American Greetings in Cleveland. It’s here that she learned the ins and outs of the greeting card industry before venturing off on her own in 2011. Since then, she’s enjoyed creating illustrations and custom hand-lettering for children’s books, greeting cards, apparel, and anything that utilizes her healthy obsession for picture-making.
