My name is Emily Paterson and I’m a recent alum of Michigan State University from Warren, Michigan. As I begin to look towards the next chapter of my life, I am passionate about furthering my design and communications work within informal learning institutions, including museums, public media, libraries, and other educational non-profits.

For as long as I can remember, I have found that my strength lies in my ability to synthesize complex topics into an easily understandable, accessible medium. From a colorful game to a succinct infographic, I love taking something complicated or convoluted and turning it into a version that wider audiences can understand and connect with.
