Emily Van Hoff
My professional background is in graphic design, which often felt at odds with my desire to have a very tactile, physical thing to show for my work. Over the years though, all of those passions and skills have come together to make each other better and I’ve managed to combine them into work that is unmistakably my own.
I am deeply interested in the space that exists between art and design and craft. That intersection is where the magic happens for me, and quilting has been my perfect tool to bring that to life.
