Nov 15 Interview with MiLOWE Illustrator Emma Hastil

We're so excited to introduce you the the uber-talented Emma Hastil today! Emma is the amazing illustrator behind our Dino's at the Disco! print (which you can pre-order right here!). We loved working with her and can't wait for babies to start wearing her super fun print!

First, tell us your story! We’d love to hear little bit about yourself and your business.
I am a creative director and artist based in New York. Self-taught illustrator and product designer, formally trained at the Pratt Institute in apparel and graphic design.

What do you enjoy most about designing kids wear?
How fun it is! The freedom to be silly, use bright colors, and express joy.

Were you creative as a child?
I was constantly drawing or making something with my hands.

How do you network as a business person/creative?
I live in NYC so it’s very easy, go out.

Where do you go for inspiration on the web and in real life?

I love taking long walks and runs. NYC is full of inspiration. All the old signage is amazing for graphic design, lettering, the city is full of color palettes, and interesting people. I have a lot of friends in the arts, who inspire me and bring me to gallery openings or show me books and that is also an incredible gift as an artist to have such access and community to.
