Hi there!

My name is Emmeline Smith. I am a WORKING DESIGNER IN HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA.

I graduated from Auburn University in December of 2025 with a major in Graphic Design, and a minor in Marketing.

In my current role as a Graphic Artist for Reyes Beverage Group, I work in a fast paced environment that requires efficiency and a keen eye for detail. I work on a plethora of alcoholic beverage brands, from large beer brands to local vodka distilleries. Before this role, I felt confident in my skills in Adobe Creative Cloud, but I knew little about the alcoholic beverage industry and the skills needed to succeed in an ever evolving creative environment. During this role, I have been able to learn quickly about a vast industry, and I have strengthened my skills in Adobe Creative Suite so that I am now faster and more efficient. Another skill that I have honed in this role is the ability to maintain a creative flow. I am aiming to complete around forty print advertisements a day in Illustrator with support from other Adobe applications. Learning how to become a versatile designer while still maintaining a steady workflow has been one of the biggest lessons of this role. 

In the summer of 2025, I had the privilege of being the Global Creative Intern at The Coca-Cola Company. During the nine weeks I spent at the Atlanta headquarters, I had the amazing opportunity to collaborate with global marketing & design teams to learn how creative projects come to life at scale. I also explored different areas of the industry that helped me discover new career interests. Most importantly, I built meaningful connections across TCCC and the intern class. This experience pushed me to grow both professionally and personally, and I couldn’t have done it without an incredible team. I was lucky to have wonderful mentors who encouraged me to build new skills and gain confidence in my strengths. I’m grateful to have learned from the inspiring creative minds on the Global Creative Team, and I’m excited to carry these lessons forward into the next chapter of my career.

When I am not hunched over my computer, I can be found hanging out with my dog, Bingo, reading, or spending time with friends. I also volunteer to design for CARE Humane Society where I create fun new ways of connecting shelter pets with their forever homes. I am so happy to be in a field of creative people who inspire me to become a better artist. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!
