Emily Ehlers - most commonly known as Eco with Em - is a strange hybrid of writer, illustrator and environmentalist.
Her quirky, solutions-focused environmental artworks have been virally shared and have been strongly linked to severe cases of hopefulness.

She is based in Western Australian with her husband, two kids and the largest pile of laundry in the Southern Hemisphere.
