Summary
Emily Keenan is a multidisciplinary writer and designer based in Minneapolis with nine years of experience blending publishing, branding, and full-stack web development. Trained at MCAD and Prime Digital Academy, she pairs design research and UX sensibility with practical MEAN-stack skills—bringing empathy and audience-first thinking to both print and digital products. At Hillcrest Media Group she grew from coordinator to design manager overseeing a 12-person team and hundreds of daily projects, then pivoted to freelance work delivering email campaigns to up to 30,000 subscribers, event branding, and SEO-driven content. Comfortable with client- and server-side technologies like Node.js, AngularJS, PostgreSQL and Firebase, she translates technical constraints into elegant, human-centered outcomes. Colleagues note her uncommon combination of typographic rigor and technical fluency, which helps projects scale from polished print assets to responsive web experiences.
