EMILY YAHN
With over 20 years of experience in branding and design, Emily combines expertise in marketing and promotion, creative direction, user experience, and technical design skills for digital and print media. Throughout her career, Emily has played an integral role in launching new products and campaigns, revitalizing familiar brands, and distilling abstract or complicated ideas into clear and concise messages.
She has worked with a wide range of clients including large national corporations, small owner-operated business, government organizations, and non-profits. Before starting Tangible Designs, Emily worked at Ketchum Public Relations and Advertising in San Francisco, where she designed for large national clients such as Chase Credit Cards, Clorox, ConAgra, DIRECTV, Ghirardelli, Häagen-Dazs, Kikkoman, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association in the B2B and B2C areas.
She helped Kikkoman introduce umami to chefs, Clorox launch the Bleach Pen, DIRECTV gain new subscribers in the restaurant sector, and Ghirardelli launch its new line of intense dark chocolates. While designing advertising campaigns and public relations materials, Emily art directed photoshoots, collaborated with top-notch illustrators, and helped craft pitches for new business.
In the Washington, DC, area, Emily was the art director at KSA-Plus Communications in Arlington, VA, where she specialized in education-related and non-profit communications design for clients such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, DC Public Schools, and the U.S. Department of Education. Emily crafted brand identities for new programs and re-branded already established organizations by developing concepts for logos, marketing collateral, data visualizations, infographics, email campaigns, and complex websites built from the ground up.
