My Story

---

Emily McConnell 

Owner & Creative Director

Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember, and graphic design became the perfect way to bring that creativity to life. Combining artistry with precision, I discovered a way to turn ideas into tangible, beautiful pieces that tell a story - especially a love story.

I graduated from Berks Technical Institute in Reading, PA, in 2008 with an Associate Degree in Graphic Design and was honored to receive The Brian Foss Award, recognizing the most talented and most improved designer in my class. Shortly after, I had the opportunity to take over an established local business, KI Graphics, which had been serving clients since 1988. That journey eventually became EM’s Graphic Studio, where I’ve had the joy of helping couples create wedding stationery that is as unique and personal as the celebrations they’re planning.

Designing and printing wedding invitations is one of my greatest passions. I love transforming a couple’s vision into a beautifully crafted invitation suite - from the paper and colors to the typography, design details and finishing touches. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the excitement on a couple’s face when they hold their finished invitations for the first time. It’s the moment their wedding starts to feel real.

Since beginning my career in graphic design in 2006, I’ve continued to grow, refine my craft and build lasting relationships with more than 300 clients. Everything I design tells a story and is created to feel personal, meaningful and lasting.

For me, design isn’t simply about making something beautiful - it’s about telling a story. And when it comes to weddings, that story begins long before the walk down the aisle. It begins with the invitation.
