About the designer

 
 
 

THE DESIGNER

Designed by Emi Emi Ichikawa
 

My name is Emi, and I am a Squarespace website designer and professional dancer.

 

Originally born in Tokyo and raised in Hong Kong, I relocated to London in 2019 to pursue my performing career!

I’ve been creating graphics and doing blog, forum, and web design since 2014. Since then, I have completed many courses on tech, design, and marketing - I’ve always wanted to make a business out of it, but could never find the right time.

However, the pandemic hit pause on my performing career, so I started Designed by Emi in May 2020.

I know what it’s like to start a small business from scratch, and can relate to the lack of time and energy you have for anything else!

DIY-ing a website is incredibly frustrating and time-consuming - even as a web designer, it takes me around 50-60 hours of work and 500-1000+ lines of coding.

So, how can I help you?

 

 

I can create a beautifully designed website to attract clients in 3-4 weeks

 

I love working with passionate small business owners who love to show off their business!

After completing a brand new website, I always teach my clients how to use and update their website, which empowers business owners as they are able to take full reign on their site, and saving them £££ in the long run.

MY MISSION is to help you create a captivating online presence, whether it’s:

  • a full website with new logos,

  • a social media graphics refresh,

  • or a flyer to advertise your newest event

THE GOAL is to produce an end result that is be something that you love and are proud of.

 

so, What are you waiting for?

HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND GENUINE CARE FOR THE END RESULT WAS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR

From the initial consultation, we could see that Emi was so invested in understanding our vision and feel for the site. She was so thorough in getting to know the business and the ethos. This was transcribed beautifully from conversation to reality and we could not be happier with the site. All of our expectations for the final product were knocked out of the park and we are so happy with the result. We could not recommend her enough.

A STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE, WITH A TRULY UNIQUE END RESULT

When I first approached Emi about creating a website, I didn't really know what I wanted, but she helped me to hone in on a style and branding that completely represented who I am and what I offer. She was with me from the beginning to the end and was always there to answer any questions. I cannot recommend Emi enough to anyone wanting a stress-free experience, with a truly unique end result!

I COULDN’T BE PROUDER OF THE RESULT

I approached Emi to build my new company website. I’d tried a few times to design it myself but I was completely lost. With Emi, within two weeks we had designed, built, and launched the site and I couldn’t be prouder of the result.

I NEVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ACHIEVE IT ON MY OWN

I HIGHLY recommend investing in the guidance of Designed by Emi. The process was extremely easy and well-thought-out. Her understanding of the design process is staggering - I feel confident selling myself as the brand she created! She only settles for perfection.
