About Emily Imke
I specialize in designing interactive experiences, user advocacy, design leadership, problem-solving, and Enterprise Design Thinking. During my career, I have taken on multiple roles formal and informal including Visual Designer, UX Designer, Researcher, and Photographer. My skill set encompasses a comprehensive understanding of design processes, strategically tackling ambiguous business and user problems, and an innate knack for collaborative leadership. I’ve gained experience consulting for at least eight different industries, and I’ve had the privilege of building relationships with many clients and stakeholders over 15+ projects. I\'ve also mentored, coached, and led over 20 early career professionals and team members through project work, internal mentorship programs, and external volunteering opportunities.As a designer, I am passionate about understanding the people who use the products and services I contribute to. It is my responsibility to advocate for those users, the UX process, accessible experiences, and the people on my team. I believe that quality design is created within diverse teams where unique perspectives come together to form impactful solutions.
