Emilie Seda

Graphic Designer

Emilie’s interest in art began primarily in fashion and children’s books before shifting to graphic design. While studying costume design as a freshman in college, she took an interest in visual storytelling, ultimately changing her concentration to graphic design. After receiving her BFA from East Stroudsburg University, she went on to pursue an MFA in Illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design. She continues to illustrate children’s books as a hobby when not working.

After completing her Master’s degree, Emilie began to freelance, which sparked her interest in marketing and branding. Looking for a position that integrated her love for illustration, graphic design and marketing, KickCharge seemed like the perfect fit!
