Ember Harker - Founder As the driving force behind Creative Metaphor, I work to ensure that each client is given the individualized attention and personalized service that is the cornerstone of the Creative Metaphor work ethic. I believe good design starts with good communication and a strong client relationship. It grows with creative integrity and a clear concept of the finished product that meets or exceeds the original goals. I began my career in Illinois, after receiving my design degree from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. After a bit of moving about, I settled in the San Francisco Bay area where I spent a few years at a high-end corporate design firm in the city. Today I have clients across the country in a variety of different industries. As evidenced in the case studies and portfolio section, many of these clients return time and time again for the service they have come to expect from Creative Metaphor.
