Hi there, I’m Emily.

  • Emily Godwin

    FOUNDER AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER

    I’m a freelance graphic designer and the founder of Thirty Fathoms, a small design studio by the sea in Cornwall. I’ve got over 14 years of experience in the industry working with all sorts of people and brands, from leading agencies, to ambitious start-ups, to household names like Cath Kidston and Rick Stein.

    My career began in the hustle and bustle of London but I made the move to Cornwall in 2013, where the beautiful coastline continues to inspire me and gives me the space to produce my best creative work.

    Design is my true passion - and my experience has given me a deep understanding of the impact that well-crafted design can have. I can bring this passion and experience to your business and help you build a distinctive brand that’s true to you, create packaging that stands out on the shelves or design meaningful marketing materials that you’ll be truly proud to put out into the world.

    If you’re reading this, I presume that you’re looking for a designer to work with - let’s have a chat!

    I’d love to be a part of your brand’s journey.

Let's work together

What I can do for you:

  • My specialisms lie in visual brand identity and design for print. I have a special love for packaging - but my expertise and experience spans from ads to signage, to editorial and more. Whatever your print design brief, I’ll bring my keen eye and original approach to your project.

  • For multi-disciplined projects I collaborate with some of my talented buddies who are specialists in their own fields. Whether that’s brand strategists, copywriters, photographers or web developers, they’re always experts that I trust and know to deliver high standards of work. More creative minds on your project means consistent quality and impact at every touchpoint.

  • I love to partner with creative agencies and offer freelance design support, either in the studio or working remotely. I’m always willing to get stuck in, work as a team and bring my fresh creative perspective to the table.

  • I also offer comprehensive brand services, including brand audits to uncover your unique potential, brand strategy to craft a compelling narrative, and Squarespace website design for a polished online presence. Whether you're a startup seeking a fresh identity or an established business in need of a makeover, I'm here to elevate your brand and help you connect with your audience on a deeper level.
