Disco Lemonade is a boutique creative microstudio specialized in designing juicy, totally bespoke brand identities. Led by me — Emily Van Kirk — Disco Lemonade Studio is for businesses seeking thoughtfully crafted visual identities and the intimacy of working one-on-one with a single creative director from concept through execution. My work in brand design combines insightful strategy with strong design intuition — Moving businesses beyond simply existing and into becoming beautiful, impactful, fully realized visual brands.
I’m Emily, the founder, creative director, and sole designer behind the studio.
About Me (Emily Van Kirk)!
With a decade of experience in both corporate and agency design, I created Disco Lemonade to focus on bringing high quality brand design to businesses of all sizes — Capturing their essence and crafting brand perceptions that make an impact.
Creatively, my background is in both traditional fine art and brand-focused design. I was concentrated in traditional mediums before achieving my MFA in Graphic Design and Visual Experience, and have since worked across industries building multi-channel campaigns, visual identities, and brand experiences. My background in the arts and interior design shows up often in my design work, resulting in custom illustrations, textures, and patterns bringing an artisan style to my work with brands.
Outside of my focused work in brand design, I’ve always been a true “everything creative” — Graphic designer, illustrator, painter, iPhone photographer, interior design enthusiast, as well as a wife and a mother to two sweet little girls (and our dog / my loyal studio companion, Wanny).
Disco Lemonade Studio specializes in the strategic positioning and design of totally bespoke visual brand identities. From here, that brand identity is applied to all of your business touchpoints — from website, to social media channels, advertising, printed marketing, packaging, merchandise, and more.
