Welcome to the Creative Studio of Emily Eisenhart.

ARTIST BIO

Emily Eisenhart turns the world into her canvas. From kinetic sculpture to sky-high murals, she is dedicated to infusing cities with art and creativity. Specializing in creative direction, custom artwork development, and art advising, she partners with clients to create vibrant artwork and experiences that transform spaces. Her practice is a distinct mixture of brand strategy and artistic sensibility.

With a formal background in Cultural Anthropology, Emily approaches many of her projects as an ethnographer, exploring the culture of a place to create dynamic, story-driven artwork that is reflective of people and place. She has collaborated with prominent national brands, real estate developers, architects, and interior designers. Notable clients include Gensler, HOK, Kor Group, Lincoln Property Company, Whole Foods, Warby Parker, YETI, SXSW, and Austin FC, among others. Her work has been featured in The New York Times and her partnership with Community First! Village has been recognized by ULI as 2024’s Best Project Innovation.

Prior to opening her own studio, she honed her skills at the global innovation firm IDEO, a company dedicated to leveraging design, discovery, and experimentation to help organizations across industries flourish.

As part of her commitment to design and art, Emily serves as a Founding Board Member of Design Austin, the foundational arm of AIA Austin committed to celebrating and amplifying design excellence in Austin and beyond.
