Emma Chaisson
Emma lives her life like an all-you-can-eat buffet; she’s got a full plate in each hand, one more balanced on her head, and she’s eyeing at least three different desserts on her way back to the table. This girl is all about possibilities—after all, life doesn’t exactly come with a map (and what fun would that be anyway?).
Case in point—after sampling seven different majors (not to mention a few different universities), Emma found her calling. Graphic design was the first time work didn’t feel like work, so she ghosted her past vocational flings and committed to a career in the arts (and it’s serious; like picking out fancy fonts together, serious).
Clearly a connoisseur of choice, it's that same sheer volume of possibilities that she loves most about her work. Layouts, fonts, colors—she wants to explore every possible combination and variation. She’s basically the nightmare-inducing cautionary tale TVA parents tell their kids to keep them in line. (Everyone's seen Loki, right?)
Outside of work, Emma is often painting, taking long walks, and discovering new coffee shops, always on the lookout for the perfect blend of inspiration and caffeine. And you can bet when she finds one, she tries everything on the menu.
Favorite movie set in a school: Napoleon Dynamite is hands-down my favorite movie set in a school. It's one of my go-to comfort watches and, thanks to my dad constantly quoting it growing up. "Tina you fat lard" is now forever etched into my head.
Fictional teacher I wish I had: I wish I could’ve had Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus as a teacher because where else can you shrink down to explore the human body or outer space, all before lunch? No where!
Favorite class of all time: My favorite class I ever took was in college; it was called Narrative Painting. It was one of those classes where you have a super talented, hard-core professor who isn't afraid to tell you that your work is mediocre and to start from scratch (the day before critique, mind you). In the end, it was rewarding and I'm glad I put myself to the challenge.
