Hey there!

I’m Emeri. A branding and ui/ux designer with a background in graphic design and psychology. I have adhd, so there’s always a lot going on in my brain. Since I know what that’s like, I love creating user experiences that facilitate thoughtless navigation; and keep your brain a little bit quieter.

kinoo—family first app

Kinoo connects kids and grandparents through video chat equipped with engaging activities that double average call time compared to basic video chat.

The Kinoo app icon fills a unique niche; appealing to both children and adult users. The final icon design is playful and colorful, while remaining on trend with modern design. The icon acts as a window into the world of Kinoo, inviting you to come connect and play.


kc status icons

Kinoo App Icon Before

The companion to the Kinoo app, the Kinoo Controller (KC), is a physical device that kids can use to interact with or enhance some of Kinoo's activities. The controller connects via Bluetooth, so we needed convey the different states of connectivity a KC might be in.To solve this problem, I created a dynamic icon that morphs from a small square when the KC is disconnected, into a full battery indicator when the KC is connected. This means that when users aren't playing with their KC, the indicator is small and out of their way, only kicking into action when it's needed.In addition to high, medium, and low charge levels, the icon set also includes a charging state for when the KC is docked, as well as a disconnected error state to indicate that something in settings needs the users attention.

Kinoo Town Final

Using assets provided by the illustration team, I created a concept mockup for the main screen of the Kinoo app. This screen is where users can manage their account/profile, and make calls to their loved ones. Our guiding concept was the experience of visiting grandma's house. To create that childhood memory within our product, I turned our main screen into a village where all your loved ones can live together virtually. My initial concept was used by the illustration team to develop our mains screen, as well as a scene that welcomes you as the app loads.


game mode interface

One of the quintessential experiences playing games with family is the house rules. To create this experience within the Kinoo app, I designed an interface that lets users customize their experience in a given activity. Settings include game fundamentals, like difficulty and turn taking, as well as fun options like themes that cater to kid's interests. The interface is modular and scrollable, so each activity gets customized settings.

For her voiceover website, Sam wanted a classic and minimal design that made liberal use of her favorite color, pink. Working with Elementor on WordPress, we built her a sleek one page site that makes it easy for clients to listen to her work and get in touch. Her final website and branding package gives her a consistent look across all social platforms, and shows off her personal taste.

what sam had to say

"Emeri knew exactly what I wanted within minutes of our first call. Something simple, yet elegant to showcase my work to clients. Between finding my new favorite font to my branding approach, Emeri knows exactly what they're doing and is amazing at making it a reality!"


katte noel—voice actor

Katte’s website re-design brought in some fun touches that show off her personality. Bright colors paired with a classic type-face and layered graphics give the design an elegant yet fun vibe (just like Katte), and the tag line “like matte not latte” lets the viewer in on her sense of humor. Her final branding & website design shows clients that Katte not only does great work, but is fun to work with.

"I was so impressed at how quickly Emeri was able to take my ideas and bring them to life! They were so helpful and knew exactly how to build a beautiful website that met my needs while still keeping a colorful and fun feeling. I highly recommend Emeri's talented web design skills to anyone looking to refresh their site!"


cat protano—voice actor

Cat had been using a self-designed website to promote her voiceover work for just over a year. Going into 2022 with big things on the horizon, she wanted to create a new site that would be easy for clients to navigate, and had cohesive imagery. Playing off the color palette of an illustration of Cat, we created a streamlined one page website with a fun personality that highlights Cat's best work.
