About me

What's with the name, I hear you ask?! My name is Emma Barrett, I am a Corporate graphic designer by day, freelance designer (here) by night. "Emmy & Mouse" is about me and my mouse (hardware) and the adventures we have designing and discovering the web/twitter/blogs/pinterest etc.
I am a lover of type, a blogger, a decorator, a diy-er, a sewer, a wife and mum to a chocolate lab(!), was a partner/designer at littlelki.com.au (now closed) and now a student - I'm studying Interior Decoration (via distance). I long to build my dream house and open my interiors/general store in regional NSW. This blog is about what inspires me, my designs (graphic & interiors) and creative projects. Hope you enjoy :)
