About

b. 1986, HK.

Welcome to the Creative Studio of Emily Eisenhart.

Emily Eisenhart is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in Austin, Texas. The daughter of an artist and anthropologist, she grew up with a paintbrush in one hand and a field book in the other. She is constantly exploring, and her work is heavily inspired by the textures, patterns, shapes, natural colors, and stories around her. With a formal background in Cultural Anthropology, she is ever curious, weaving research into her inspiration for motif and color palette development. She approaches many of her projects as an ethnographer, diving deep into the culture of a place to create dynamic, story-driven artwork that is reflective of people and place.

Emily’s creative practice is a mixture of brand strategy and artistic sensibility. She is steeped in creative direction, leading design projects, and closely partnering with her clients at all stages of a project. While she specializes in murals, she believes that all the world’s a canvas. Painting is her forte, yet she has illustrated on all scales, from small portraits to expansive 7-story murals, and has designed everything from bespoke hotel wallpaper and custom textiles to boutique wine labels and vibrant residential commissions. She has collaborated with partners of all kinds, from prominent national brands to local businesses, real estate developers, architects, interior designers, and individuals looking for contemporary artwork for their studios and private residences. Operating at the intersection of the design and art worlds, her work is simultaneously strategic and spontaneous. She cares deeply about storytelling through the visual arts and closely collaborating with others.

Prior to opening her own studio, she cut her teeth at the world class design firm IDEO where she worked with clients such as Nike, Microsoft, and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. As an independent artist, she has partnered with wide-ranging brands the likes of Whole Foods, YETI, Warby Parker, Madewell, Austin FC, and The LINE Hotel, in addition to a diverse array of small and large clients around the country and in her home base of Austin.

Emily is hardwired as a collaborator, continually partnering with other creatives. She is the co-founder of an Austin-based all-female artist collective, Broad Studios, that often opens its doors to the community for workshops, events, and artisan markets.
