Hey there, I’m Ema Davis, a dorky, anime-loving, DnD-playing, alt Black woman with a deep love for dogs, creativity, and a motto of "peace, love, and hair grease." For 13 years, I’ve had a career filled with highs, lows, and everything in between—from dark moments with leadership that felt distant and inhuman to profoundly inspiring experiences of redefined kindness. Through it all, one thing has remained clear: kindness is key, and we must always assume goodwill (shoutout to my incredible mentor, Jonathan Dew, for that wisdom).

I fell in love with design because it’s the perfect balance of art, communication, and problem-solving. But over time, I realized that great design is only part of the equation—supporting people is what truly drives success. We’ve always known this, but somewhere along the way, the world forgot. As an entrepreneur, I’m committed to achieving both short-term wins and long-term growth without sacrificing people or principles. In fact, I know avoiding those sacrifices is essential to avoiding the obvious pitfalls many organizations face.

This company was built to challenge the status quo, foster community, and create brands that thrive—because success starts with better teams, stronger connections, and shared values.

Join me in this journey. I dive deeper into these ideas with other industry leaders in my upcoming content series, The OH! Roundtable. Sign up now to catch the first episode upon launch. Let’s build something meaningful together.
