Hi, I'm Emily Thomas. I'm a media and content operations professional based in Connecticut with a deep conviction that life is more interesting when you lean into the little things that delight you. I'm a fan of kitsch, a collector of hobbies, and a firm believer that most problems can be solved with enthusiasm and a playlist.

I move content through the world.

I'm a Supervisor of Content Publishing at A+E Global Media, working in streaming and FAST channel operations. I like being close to the content but also close to all of the bugs and hiccups. Keeps me on my toes!

I'm also midway through a Master's in Project Management at Champlain College, because apparently I enjoy having a lot going on. It's less a career pivot and more a deliberate sharpening of skills I already use every day.

guiding philosophy
Go make something with your hands!

I make things. Constantly.

I paint with watercolors. I draw with ink and charcoal. I'm learning. Mostly learning to drop the perfectionism. There's a whole Instagram account dedicated to the fumbling if schadenfreude is your thing.

But art is just one thing. When I decide I'm doing something, I'm doing it. That's pretty much why this website exists at all.

Enthusiastic consumer of things.

I watch a lot of movies and television. I read a lot of books. I love a good used book with notes from a distant stranger. I'm very into music. I still buy CDs. I cook and bake when I remember I enjoy it, which is not as often as I should.

I'm drawn to things with personality — garish, colorful, weird, beautiful stuff. Visual boredom is a total thing.

what I'm working on right now

  • Learning to draw — documenting it on Instagram
  • Master's in Project Management at Champlain College
  • Building out emily.land (hi, you're here!)
  • Expanding my watercolor skills
  • Planning a trip to Banff
  • Using the stationary I already have :(
