Emery Forbes

VCD – Advertising & Graphic Design
emeryforbes.comHeya, I’m Emery! I’m a graphic designer based in Calgary, AB. I love doing all kinds of design, but as of now, I am particularly interested in working with the publishing, arts and culture, and events industries. Outside of design, my hobbies include reading, going to museums, drinking Earl Grey tea, and being kind of okay at board games.
