WHO IS EMMA CARTER?
You can take the girl out of design, but you can't take design out of the girl. It's woven into my DNA. Creativity, problem-solving, UX, you name it. Wherever there's a knotty challenge impacting real people, that's where you'll find me. Sleeves rolled up, ready to untangle it with grit, insight, and a dash of that "making it up as I go" magic.
I've led cross-functional teams to reinvent clunky legacy systems. Guided iconic brands to truly get their customers and what they crave. Even convinced skeptical execs to invest in building a powerhouse design team and system. Saving thousands of dev hours, slashing design time, and delivering seamless, consistent experiences that actually delight users. I thrive at the intersection of tech and design. Ensuring we're not just chasing shiny trends but nailing the right problems with smart, human-centered solutions.
Along the way, I've helped brands rediscover their soul. Revamping their identities to fuel global growth, and scooped up a few awards for good measure. I've turned disengaged design teams into visible, valued powerhouses. Mentoring them to step up, own their influence, and lead with confidence, even when imposter syndrome whispers otherwise.
Design isn't just my job. It's my playground. Whether I'm speaking on stages, narrating my own audiobooks (yes, I did that. Felt like a rock star!), or dreaming up future possibilities, it's where my heart beats fastest. As a mum of two spirited kids, a globe-trotting expat (UK to France to sunny Australia), and a lifelong learner, I'm all about balancing bold ambition with real-life authenticity. Let's connect and create something extraordinary.
