Emma Hursey is a creative director and graphic designer. Spliting her time between surf and sun in Australia’s Rainbow Beach, meandering the streets of London, & late night cycles between friendships in Berlin.


Emma Hursey is a creative director and graphic designer based in Rainbow Beach, Australia.
