Nursery prints and handmade greeting cards from New Zealand
DANISH ILLUSTRATOR IN NEW ZEALAND
I’m Emma, a Danish illustrator with a Master’s in Visual Communication from the Royal Danish Institute of Design. In 2019 I moved to the other side of the planet, from Copenhagen to Akaroa, a remote seaside town on the South Island of New Zealand, where I now live with my daughter and partner.
THE SHOP DREAM
I always dreamed of opening a little art shop in our town, creating and printing everything myself. That dream came true — and now I’m bringing my work online so I can share it with the world.
PLAYFUL & QUIRKY ILLUSTRATION
My style is playful, whimsical, and sometimes a bit quirky — perfect for both kids and adults. I create hand-drawn illustrations that I print as art prints, greeting cards, and posters, using a professional large-format printer.
NEW: To avoid the recent US tariffs, I partner with a US-based printing company. This means all wall art for US customers is produced locally — ensuring high quality, fast delivery, and no added tariff costs.

I’m always working on something new and exciting. Follow along on Instagram (@emmamadethistoday) for behind-the-scenes peeks, exclusive promo codes, and first looks at new designs.
I can’t wait to share my work with you and connect.
