About
I graduated from The University at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Arts degree concentrating in Graphic Design. I am now following my passion of graphic design, photography and social media in-house at Statement Accessories, a wholesale accessories company in Manhattan.
My current position at Statement Accessories allows me to merge my skills in jewelry & graphic design. Currently I focus most of my time on design and marketing, however I have past experience with sales and production from materials, sourcing & pricing within the wholesale market.
​
When not at work I can be found cycling, at a farmers market or editing images of my latest meal for my food centric instagram @emmahhhhhheatz .
