Playful paper goods & feel-good art for real humans with big feelings.

Cute, Honest, and Full of Heart

Whether you’re sending love, decorating your space, or treating your inner child — you’ll find something bright and joy-sparking here.

Big-hearted art for everyday connection.

Hi, I’m Emmi — illustrator, designer, and the big softie behind Hello Elks.

I make playful paper goods and feel-good art for fellow humans who love, feel, and care deeply — designed to brighten your day, decorate your space, or simply help you feel seen. Whether you’re treating yourself or sharing a little love with someone special, there’s something here for anyone who wants to send or keep a little joy.

Sometimes, it’s a gentle reminder to slow down.
Other times, it might be a silly dog in a birthday hat.
Either way, it’s made with whimsy, warmth, and a whole lot of heart.

Drawn with care. Sent with love. Made to connect.

Looking for bright, playful artwork for your brand or store?

From local gift shops to global brands — I love partnering with kind-hearted businesses who are drawn to fun, thoughtful, design-forward illustration.

From the Studio

Pull up a chair and join me behind the scenes.
The Hello Elks blog is where I share what goes on beyond the products — stories from the studio, reflections on creative life, and the magic (and mess) of building a big-hearted business.
