Travel Guides, Event Design, & More

Let’s get your brand off the computer and into the real world because print is NOT dead and will never be dead.

While digital design is a huge aspect of your marketing efforts, print is an overlooked specialty that requires a different approach. 

My design career started and grew in the print industry by designing trade show booths and eventually working with a variety of clients to create highly unique, memorable, and sometimes complicated printed projects for their events, marketing campaigns, or offices.

Having this be the foundation of my design brain taught me that print design needs to be thoughtfully crafted throughout the whole process to make it cost-effective, successful, and for there to be no bottlenecks once it’s in the printer's hands. 

"I've collaborated with numerous Creative Directors throughout my career, but Emily Hendricks stands out exceptionally. Emily is a leader, Emily is an inspiration, Emily is a Creative Director to aspire to.

I had the privilege of witnessing Emily's vision come to life, resulting in a truly transformative outcome. Her ability to guide a team from an initial concept to a fully realized brand strategy is extraordinary. Emily possesses a rare combination of creative brilliance and technical expertise, allowing her to produce stunning, thought-provoking work that elevates even the most ordinary concepts.

Beyond her professional talents, Emily is a wonderful colleague. It was a pleasure working alongside her."

-Steven Cook, Media Director of Zartico
