¡Hola!
My name is Emijah Jones, I am a Black American graphic design and Spanish student, illustrator, watercolorist, and small business owner studying at the University of Northern Iowa. My illustrative work is focused on people of color, womanhood, and cultural identity.
As a graphic designer, I am continuously developing my artistic voice within the digital world. My design work is inspired by culture, whimsy, and a need for experimentation.
​
Outside of art, I spend my time with my cat Lillia, traveling, and finding new music to jam to!
