The person behind the work
A little about me.
Hey, I’m Ethan.
I’m a creative, a problem solver, and the person behind EM Collective.
I’ve always enjoyed bringing ideas to life, whether that’s through graphic design, video editing, motion graphics, or something entirely new. I’ve never been someone who likes to stick to just one creative outlet, and I think that’s a big part of what makes what I do so exciting.
A lot of my creative journey started in church, where I had the opportunity to develop my skills, work alongside some incredible people, and discover just how much I love creating. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with a variety of businesses, churches, and organizations, each bringing new challenges and opportunities to grow.
My faith plays a big role in who I am and how I approach both life and work. I value genuine relationships, doing things with purpose, and putting my best into whatever I’m working on.
I’m always learning, always creating, and genuinely grateful that I get to do what I love.
