I'm Emily Lin, an art director based in SF with a multidisciplinary focus on photography, influencer, and growth creative.
By day, I’m an art director at Instacart’s in-house creative studio. By night, I freelance with mission-driven organizations, host dinner parties, and work on projects that explore themes of food x nostalgia.
In work and in life, I’m devoted to cultivating wonder, designing for social impact, and sparking connections with strangers.
Want to collaborate? I’m available for freelance design + AD work, mural painting, and geo-caching adventures. Say hi 💌
