Hey there

My name is Em Baehren, and I'm a metro Detroit-based multidisciplinary designer with a passion for problem-solving and brand strategy. In my free time, I’m working on freelance illustrations, reading for my book club, or hitting up some new weird restaurant that has hot dogs topped with shrimp or whatever.
