Hello from Emmi!

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

I create playful paper goods and feel-good art that bring a little extra sunshine to your day. Every design is dreamed up and hand-illustrated with love in Melbourne, Australia. Some pieces nudge you to slow down, while others just sprinkle a little silly joy your way. Either way, everything is made with whimsy, warmth, and a whole lot of heart.

I work from my home studio (usually with my super cute fluffy dog Winston right by my side), and I share the behind-the-scenes of my creative journey on Instagram and Substack — the wins, the wobbles, and everything in between.

When I’m not drawing, you’ll find me cooking something delicious, curled up somewhere cozy with my Kindle, or diving into a new hobby that I’m convinced will change my life (current obsession: growing my own veggies!).

If you love playful, heartfelt art that brings a little extra sunshine, you’re in the right place. So happy to have you here!
