Emily Guylee

As a designer, I am deeply committed to sustainable practices, crafting pieces that transcend fleeting trends and endure the test of time. With a background in retail, I possess an understanding of marketing and visual communication, enhancing my ability to connect with and engage audiences. My design ethos revolves around storytelling, expressed through experimental and non-conventional approaches, ensuring each creation carries its own narrative. By seamlessly integrating sharp architectural lines with the fluidity of nature, my pieces not only captivate aesthetically but also advocate for a more conscious and mindful approach to fashion, fostering a sense of longevity and meaning in every garment.
