For Emily Wallace, joining DCS was the natural culmination of more than a decade of forging strong connections with clients, colleagues, and fellow creative community members. Since graduating from the University of Dayton with a BFA in visual communication design in 2000 (as part of the university’s celebrated sesquicentennial class, for those keeping score), Emily has built a successful design career including years of both gainful self-employment and dedicated work as part of an agency team. Her clients have included international corporations such as Crown Equipment Corporation, Hexion, and Honeywell, as well as local firms of all sizes and area non-profit organizations. In addition, Emily has taught design at UD and elsewhere, presented at a national AIGA conference, and earned numerous accolades for her inspired print, web, and multimedia designs.

Currently the senior designer and art director for the Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine, Emily played a key leadership role in a multi-year campaign to rebrand the school, revamp its image, and revitalize its communications. In her spare time, Emily enjoys supporting the thriving local arts scene and is involved with ThyCa to raise thyroid cancer awareness.
