Meet Emily
Hey! I’m Emily, founder and creative lead at STELLA. With 5+ years experience in design, including my formal education (with honours), and a lifetime of experience in creating, crafting, and exploring the world of art, I think I can say I seriously live and breath design.
My experience includes interning at the iconic Canadian magazines Chatelaine and Today’s Parent, and two years at a globally-known design agency working with some of the world’s leading talent in the hospitality, event services, design, and content creator industries. In 2021, I took a huge leap and left Canada to travel Europe for a year when I also officially went full-time with STELLA.
I've been YouTube/Influencer obsessed for a LONG time (anyone an OG Zoella fan??), and I’m also a self-proclaimed foodie, a cat-lover, and have done my fair share of travelling.
In developing STELLA's mission, I realized what lights me up most is working with personal brands, getting them out of the shadows and shining. Leaning into your unique vibe and honouring how you want to grow your business are our non-negotiables when it comes to our process. Brand strategy and development is at the forefront of all our projects.
“Emily is such a joy to work with! She pays attention to detail, listens and implements my feedback, and always responds promptly. She understood my vision and brought it to life better than I ever could have. I especially loved the Brand Discovery stage. I’ve received so many compliments on my branding since working with her and some of my posts have received over 300 shares! I am so grateful to have been introduced to her and can’t wait to work with her on future projects.”

"I first heard about Emily from a friend who gave her raving reviews, and she did not disappoint. Emily is great to work with. She really understood my vision and brought it to life while involving me every step of the way. She was able to guide me yet incorporate my feedback/suggestions at the same time. I was able to relaunch my business with ease with the new branding which gave my business a fresh new look."

"I'd always known that I wanted to start my own blog and start growing my social media/branding myself but I had no idea how to start. I f*cking LOVED my experience with Emily. She met and exceeded my expectations and I could not be happier with all of the assets and my blog. Going into our meetings, I had no idea EXACTLY what I wanted my blog to look like or what I wanted my assets to look like and she hit it right on the nose. She has helped me brand myself in a way that I don't think was possible before and this has improved my overall outreach for my freelancing, gotten me more jobs in my career and has just given me a new found excitement to create content, write and develop!"

"I’ve been working with Stella The Studio for over a year now. They allowed me to go from having no clear branding to a clear, defined and recognizable brand. I’ve attracted more sponsors and partners because of my professional personal brand now. Would recommend working with them!"
