Emily Roemer on design, finding inspiration everywhere, and overcoming imposter syndrome at Amazon and The New Yorker

Emily Roemer is a graphic designer whose work has been on the pages of magazines, totebags, food trucks, umbrellas, matchboxes, posters, and much more. She’s currently the design lead of lookbooks at Amazon, and previously was the senior designer at The New Yorker. She has a BFA in graphic design from Louisana State Univeristy and an MFA in design from the School of Visual Arts. She’s worked with big names such as GAP, Hulu, James Blke, The Smithsonian, Soho House, and many more. In this episode, we talk about learning design in college, how The Beatles inspired her, what her creative process is like for both clients and herself, why Taylor Swift needs her design help, and how we both adopted maltipoo dogs spontaneously.
