Emily Moody<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Emily attended The Delaware College of Art and Design, a sister school of Pratt and Corcoran followed by a 2-year program at The Portfolio Center in Atlanta, Georgia. Shortly after graduation, Emily worked as a designer at an Atlanta Advertising and Design agency. There she worked with big-name clients such as The Coca-Cola Company and The McDonald\u2019s Group. A move to the Philadelphia area brought her to be an in-house designer at the British bank Barclays\u2019 US credit card division. After working in a corporate setting, she decided to branch off and start her own freelance business. Since its\u2019 creation in January of 2007, SuperFine Design has moved all over the country and even the world. Finally, Emily landed in Hawai\u2019i and is hoping to share her passion for typography and print design with the New Media students of KCC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
