Description

Josh Emrich, Brand Designer with Emrich Office, will touch on how a ranged approach can lead to multiple big breakthroughs. Everyone is told to specialize in something quickly, become an expert, and then make your mark. But what if you can’t seem to find your single path to excellence? Or maybe you became an expert only to discover that your expertise is no longer relevant? Josh Emrich’s creative work has never fit neatly in one creative domain or industry. He’ll share how late bloomers can eventually triumph, and a ranged approach can lead to multiple big breakthroughs. ABOUT THE PRESENTER Josh Emrich is an Indiana-based graphic designer, illustrator, and writer who combines his multiple expertises into challenging projects. After studying Visual Communication Design at the University of Indianapolis (class of 2002), Josh got his start at Lodge Design and Dean Johnson Design in Indianapolis before heading west to Colorado. While in Colorado, Josh cofounded the design firm The Tenfold Collective in 2006 where he began specializing in brand design for craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries. In 2012, Josh left Tenfold to cofound a family-owned brand design studio, Emrich Office, with his wife and creative partner, Katie Emrich. Together, they help build brands that require deep cuts of authenticity and engagement, especially in the artisan beverage, entertainment, and collectible product industries. Emrich Office’s clients include Apple, Bottle Logic Brewing, Chick-fil-A, Disney, Keymaster Games, Nickelodeon, Netflix, and Sideshow Collectibles. In 2016, Josh and Katie moved Emrich Office to Westfield, IN where they reside with their four children. *All orders due by Tuesday before the event. 72-hour cancellation notice required for refund.
