Welcome to Emma Make!
Hi, welcome to the shop. I'm Emma, an English and Mozambican designer from Cambridge, UK, living and working in Lisbon, Portugal.
Having sold digital goods such as patterns and fonts for a couple of years I felt it was time to branch into selling physical goods to brighten people's lives and homes.
The biggest joy in my work is colour. The process involved usually centres around mixing analogue and digital methods. Subjects are generally drawn from nature, such as; imagined or real African landscapes, wildflowers and animals. My travels growing up and Mozambican heritage may have also contributed to these interests.
Sustainability is important to Emma Make, and almost all prints use paper sourced from Hemp or recycled material. Emma also works with GOTS organic cotton to create her beautiful and popular scarves and aprons. Emma also sources manufacturing processes in Portugal and Europe to create products such as her screen prints (which are made by local Portuguese printers), Risographs and tailor-sewn textiles.
Happy browsing!
