ARteaST Emily Santiago

Emily is a graphic designer by day and an illustrator by night. Ever since she was a child who watched her grandfather paint, Emily had loved creating art. After moving around, she settled in Orlando, Florida, where she attended Valencia College for graphic design. Outside of her coursework, Emily continued to pursue and develop her unique artistic style. Although she enjoys experimenting with various materials, her primary focus is digital art, which is created using the Procreate app on the iPad.

Emily’s style of art is bright, whimsical, and full of colorful characters. Her goal is to convey character-driven stories with her art. She is a published children's books illustrator and dabbles in personalized commissions for clients. She often finds inspiration in pop culture, anime, and video games.
