What is it saying about you?
Your brand is your reputation.
Whether it's loud and bold, 90s nostalgic, or muted and refined, your reputation is on the line with every piece of your brand and marketing. That's why we don't build one-size-fits-all solutions. We thoughtfully guide you through agency-proven strategy while providing a client experience that ensures your personal tastes are heard.
Because when it comes to running a creative business, it is personal. Your growing business deserves not only high-caliber strategy that will get you in front of the right people, but one-to-one care that feels like a friend guiding you through a refreshing and thoughtful process. That's EFC.

(Technically, I'm Emily Foster Keller because I added on my husband's last name. But for all intents and purposes, you can just call me Emily.)
I'm a creative over-thinker. The designer-level detail goes so deep, that I can tell you how much I overthought this section...
- Will the Apple watch be perceived as too casual?
- Do I write this in the first person so it feels approachable or in the third person so you know I have a team, and it's not just me running EFC?
Unfortunately for me, it means that I can't quite be present for hobbies like painting or pottery (I overthink it).
Fortunately for you, it means you're teaming up with a strategist who gets it, and will do the overthinking for you. I can relate to the endless nights you've spent trying to level up your website and just get it published already. I know how much thought goes into publishing that one Instagram post.
Annnd? I'm here to tell you it doesn't have to be so hard. You can trust someone else to support you with it, because I promise, we care so much about your business, that I'm checking our clients' Google Analytics on a random Wednesday night (out of curiosity) and diving deep on your socials to get to know more about you before designing your brand.
Based in Portland, Oregon. I have 11+ years of design experience in the marketing world. During that time, I’ve done a lot of different design work - everything from big blow ups for events to animations to Facebook and Google ads to branding for digital companies.
Despite so many different projects, my heart always came back to branding and website design. I truly believe that the quality of everything you create in terms of design is influenced by your branding. And, in today’s world, a website is vital to most small business’ livelihood.
BRAND & WEB DESIGNER FOR WEDDING CREATIVES
Hi! I’m Emily Foster.
Emily Foster keller
Designer & Brand Strategist
And I think that's pretty cool, because at one point, it was just me doing the design, copywriting, social media engagement, blog writing, SEO, alt text one everyyyy image, and so much more.
I built a team so I could better serve more wedding pros just like you: on the timelines and with the quality that I know your business deserves.
Today, I protect the client experience, because I want you to partner with an expert who listens, deeply cares, and doesn't pass you around 12 different team members. While our team of talented creatives supports with client projects, you'll connect with me as your strategist, get updates from me, and I'll creative direct each step of your project to ensure it's all seamless.
EFC didn't always have a team.
I heard "obsession" is a Gen Z term? Maybe so, because I'm a Zillennial, meaning aged at the crossroad of Millennial and Gen Z. That's my first obsession: studying generational shifts and how they affect your marketing.
Two of my favorite Portland things are the trees and regular visits to Powell’s Books. My biggest hobby is reading and I post book reviews and thoughts on everything bookish over on my account @read_with_em
When I’m not designing, running a business, or reading, I can be found watching Friends, Schitt’s Creek, or old rom-coms. I also love getting outside, cooking, and pinning wedding ideas on Pinterest.
Some other obsessions:
books
my cats
WEDDINGS
travel
NATURE
FOOD
MUSEUMS
MOVIES
Emily Foster Creative’s Core Beliefs:
OVER EXCLUSION
Love is love and weddings are meant for everyone to celebrate. At Emily Foster Creative, we work to create an environment where everyone feels welcome, heard, and empowered.
OVER COMPETITION
I’m passionate about working with others to solve problems. I’m grateful to have many designer friends who I can give to and learn from.
Each of my branding and website design projects starts with strategy. That is what drives each design decision. While I keep up with trends, I put less focus on them because my goal is provide you with an evergreen brand and website design.
OVER QUANTITY
My goal is to provide you with quality design that you actually need, and that will move the needle for your business. We don’t create just for the sake of creating deliverables. Each deliverable is intentional, so you pay for what’s most important.
OVER CLICHÉS
Crafting a brand that feels authentic to you and your business is so much more important than following what others in the industry are doing. While trends come and go, your unique storytelling will always stand out.
OVER JUDGMENT
My goal is to empower my clients to be their best selves when it comes to design, branding, and websites. No question is dumb, and I work to educate you throughout the creative process, so you can run with the designs I give you.
Love
Community
Strategy
