Dr. Valerie Gettings
I came to Joan Igawa of Emiko Design Studio looking to elevate and professionalize my logo and brand identity, and she exceeded every expectation. She explored multiple iterations until the design felt perfectly aligned with my brand. I now have a beautiful, timeless logo and brand kit that truly represents my vision. Joan is talented, patient, and incredibly thoughtful in her process. I highly recommend her!

Dr. Kelly McCann
Working with Joan was a simple, intuition and creative process. She guided the whole journey from conception to execution. She listened deeply, asked the right questions and connected with the core principles in such a way that she was able to not only grasp the concept but make it come alive in visual form. The Unforgetting Project logo isn’t just beautiful, it carries the depth, mystery, and luminosity of the work itself. Joan was timely, collaborative and fun to work with. She is a true team player. I am overjoyed with the logo and know that it provokes imagination, stimulates curiosity and speaks to the souls of those who see it. I’m so grateful for her creative brilliance and heart.
