Let's Make Sustainable Art Together
Are you someone who loves nature and art with an impact?
Then you're in the right place!
My name is Emily Slingerland (EmilySketcherland on Instagram) and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a visually driven wildlife researcher turned graphic designer. My designs illustrate nature-themed projects with a sense of playfulness. Armed with an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design and a Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Conservation I am all about bringing art to the natural world and coloring science with design.
Adventurer at Heart
Getting Curious about Nature
After a college trip to Costa Rica, I discovered the vast diversity of the avian world. Since then, I am constantly inspired and in awe of the uniqueness of nature and strive to bring my love of the natural world to others through art. When I’m not making art or volunteering on bird research projects you can find me listening to audiobooks, skiing, rock climbing, or recently, learning how to mountain bike!
