summertime emmy is my alter ego

👋🏼 Hey there, I’m Emily (she/her)—my friends call me Em—and Summertime Emmy began as my extra sparkle alter ego turned shop namesake. Inspired by nostalgic childhood treasures and a love for thoughtful gifts, I blended my artistry with my intersectional identities (✨ I’m a Chinese-American neurodivergent girlie ✨) to create pieces that celebrate whimsy, culture, and connection.

After years of following a more “traditional path,” I took the leap to pursue my creative curiosities. My goal is to build a life that values intentionality, balance, and the courage to follow my dreams. Each creation reflects that journey, inviting others to thrive and find joy in life’s little moments.
