background & impact

Audrey Emmett, founder of Studio Iris, is a writer and visual artist. Her work across analog, digital, and retrofuturistic spaces has influenced emerging trends while evoking a distinct sense of nostalgia.

Across her digital platforms, she has cultivated an engaged community of over 100k, with her creative strategies and content reaching more than 6.5 million accounts in just 30 days. Her words and visuals have been shared and followed by artists and cultural figures including SZA, Tefi Pessoa, The Wrecks, Joe P, Lauren Tepfer, and U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón. One of her most well-known quotes, “I hope you get everything you’ve ever wanted & I hope I never hear a thing about it” has reached over 35 million views across TikTok.

She is the author of two poetry collections, Everything at Once and Don’t Be a Stranger. The launch of Don’t Be a Stranger reached #1 new release in poetry on publication day, powered by a marketing campaign she developed herself. 

Audrey has also led creative direction for musicians, most notably serving as art director for Rosie Darling’s Golden Age EP, conceptualizing the project’s visual world and designing cover art that continues to influence Darling’s brand today.

Her work has been exhibited at Art Basel Miami (2021 & 2022, Love Lost exhibit) and featured in publications such as Kulture and Our Era. She has also been a guest on the Writer’s Corner podcast.

These experiences shaped the foundation of Studio Iris: a creative marketing studio built to help founders find clarity, beauty, and resonance in the ways they show up online.
