ABOUT

Emma Harling (b.1989 in Göteborg, Sweden) is a creative director and designer who works with textile, surface, product and color design.

Initially trained as a printmaker, she holds a BA in Art History with a minor in Textile Technology from Uppsala University. She has spent over a decade creating concepts, artwork and color palettes for New York's high end fashion and home industries.

Emma is known for her distinctive patterns, sense for quality and intuitive exploration of color.
