Art has the power to slow us down, spark joy and remind us of what matters most— even when it's just a sticker on a notebook cover or a print on a wall. It invites us to pause, to pay attention, and to fill our days with more of what makes us feel alive.

My name is Emily, and I'm a lifelong creative— whether with a paintbrush, a piano or a pen. I've always been drawn to the quiet magic of handmade things and the way art can turn ordinary moments into something sacred. I started  this shop by designing for myself: decorating my journals, home and wardobe with pieces that made me feel calm, creative and connected to something deeper.

The Heart Behind the Shop

My story here starts with you. It starts with me imagining someone just like you, creative and curious, fierce but whimsical, and wondering what I could create that would bring a sense of joy and purpose to your life. Picturing what I could create that would compliment your routine and above all, make you feel how I want to feel: calm, creative and capable; that's the heart of the emilyckohl mission.

I enjoy creating art and designing products that feel very me in the hopes that you'll be able to find something here that also feels very you. I want my art to encourage you, make you feel seen, and remind you that you're capable of bringing creativity into your everyday life. Whether you're journaling, working on a passion project, or sending a thoughtful gift to a friend, I hope my work brings you a moment of stillness and delight.

My Approach to Creating

Everything in my shop is rooted in intention. The florals and landscape illustrations are bold without being too feminine, and the lettering pieces in my shop are eye-catching and thoughtful. My store ranges from home decor and clothing to notebooks, stickers and printable downloads for journaling. 

Most products from my store are made-to-order to reduce overproduction and promote sustainable e-commerce practices. Living gently and with a small footprint is something that's naturally woven into the way I approach life and my business. 

What You Can Expect Here

This blog will be a space for more than just shop updates. I'll be sharing occasional sneak peeks behind the scenes, design inspiration, journaling tutorials and unique gift ideas.

Whether you're here to find a cozy new t-shirt, a print for your reading nook, or sticker to personalize your favorite journal, I'm so glad you've found your way here. I hope this is a space that feels warm and welcoming— like a handwritten note, a deep breath, or a good cup of coffee.
