So glad you’re here.

I’m Emily—a cross-pollinating poet/writer/artist and the creative director of Wild Honey Words, a gift shop designed to spark creative expression and authentic connection.

Words and art are my favorite modes of transportation: like New York City trains, they bridge diverse communities. Not only can strong writing and evocative images move us, they can empower us, compel us to act, and transform the way we see ourselves and each other. That’s why connecting with the right creator at the right moment matters.

Based in Pasadena, California, I’m available for collaborations and commissions as well as part-time and freelance opportunities to support, uplift, and inspire folks by doing what I do best.
