Hi, I'm Emily—artist, maker, and the creative force behind Living Lofi. Growing up, I was mesmerized by the magic of Studio Ghibli and Disney animated films. That sense of wonder and whimsy sparked something in me, and by age 10, I'd made up my mind: artist or bust.

That path led me to SCAD's animation program, then to Los Angeles, where I worked as an artist in television animation at studios including Warner Bros. and DreamWorks. It was a dream come true—but after years of purely digital work, I found myself craving something I could hold in my hands.

That pull toward tangible creation, combined with wanting to fill my own home with meaningful, cozy decor, became the foundation of Living Lofi. Everything you see in my shop started as pieces I designed for my own space—and loved too much not to share.

Now, from my studio here in Atlanta, I'm excited to share a little of that magic with you.

— Emily ✨
