About Emma Allen Design Studio

Emma Allen is an Ontario based artist specializing in high quality watercolour and calligraphy prints and products. Her style is a balanced mix of timeless and modern, allowing for thoughtful home décor and gifting solutions. Born and raised in small town Ontario, Emma has always focused on her creative goals which have brought her to creating Emma Allen Design Studio. After moving to the west coast upon graduation, Emma dedicated 2 of her post-university years to photographing national level athletes in Victoria. It was two years after starting this position, that Emma decided to leave her full-time job and Emma Allen Design Studio was born. While she originally focused only on photographing weddings and local events, Emma's love for graphic design and fine arts soon snuck into her business plan. She taught herself how to use the Adobe suite, paint with watercolours, and do calligraphy… the rest is history! Emma now creates her watercolour and lettering products from her home studio in Ontario. In addition to using almost entirely recyclable products and low volatile organic compounds, inks and solvents (vegetable based), Emma repurposes shipping materials and uses local suppliers to do her part in contributing to a more sustainable future.
