Emily Musterman

Design + Art Direction

I began Forage in 2023 after over a decade as an in-house designer in large marketing and communications departments. For years, I felt like I had more to offer than what was asked or expected of me – more in terms of critical thinking, capacity for new skills, and ability to handle complex projects. That combination of skills, desire to learn and years of immersion in corporate communications makes me uniquely suited to help small businesses. I want to be more than a vendor – a partner. Forage is the extra tool in your toolbelt. 

As a designer, I love creating experiences through the design and expression of visual brands. The exploration and puzzle-solving involved in design is what gets me excited about my work. In my 15+ years of experience, I’ve worked on some cool projects, from initial name developments, countless logo designs, social media campaigns and even wayfinding at a major university. 

When I’m not designing, I love perusing cookbooks, dreaming up a future cutting garden or going on adventures with my little family.
