Get to know your host Emily, why she chose to begin the third chapter of her adult life in a new state ~ Maine, and why she decided to embark on creating a podcast for the first time while putting down roots and meeting folks along the way.
TMC’s theme song “Hearts as Full as the Moon” is courtesy of Oshima Brothers:
I am a front-end web designer, photographer, and conceptual artist. I hold an MFA in Art & Design from the University of Michigan and a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I started my career as a UI/UX designer in New York City. Later, I moved to Berlin, Germany to pursue my art career and live a more bohemian lifestyle. After three years in Berlin, I returned to the United States for graduate school. Following my MFA, I began teaching web and graphic design, photography, and video the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Nebraska Wesleyan University and Metro Community College.
In 2018 I left my tenure track position at Nebraska Wesleyan University, to pursue The Unknown! That year I did my first three triathlons, founded an artist residency program at a state park in Iowa, performed in Seattle and hiked the 273 mile Vermont Long Trail. After all of that, I returned to Lincoln to decompress and process. Following clues that appeared during the downtime led me to founding Expansive Media. I am super excited to be able to combine my tech and art skills through Expansive Media. I am also able to incorporate my passion for well-being and community by working with clients who make the world a better place.
