Emily Melnick

Emily joined Drake Cooper in 2026 as an Associate Designer, bringing a thoughtful mix of creative storytelling and strategic thinking to the agency. Her work bridges both the creative and marketing sides of the business, supporting business development through social media, presentation design, and visually driven case studies that help tell Drake Cooper’s story in compelling ways.

A graduate of Boise State University’s Graphic Design program, Emily began her career in-house at a tech startup, where she expanded her skills as both a designer and content creator. Equal parts creative thinker and “crafty gal,” she’s always eager to pick up a new hobby or outdoor adventure—especially if it means spending time with friends and family.

Based in Boise, Emily spends her afternoons and weekends exploring the outdoors and making the most of everything Idaho has to offer.
