Dayton, OH, USA
I'm Emily Sandoval, a Graphic Designer and a Marianist Sister. After graduating from college with a BFA in Visual Communications, I've lived in many different places, traveled to many more, and currently based in Dayton, Ohio. I believe that design is a tool that can be used for the common good and to make a positive impact on the world, so I've spent 10+ years helping nonprofit organizations communicate their message in an impactful way.
