Emily Rees is the designer of Country-Wide magazine.
Her career in print design started 20 years ago in her hometown of Marton at the local newspaper. Emily then moved onto various print design roles in Feilding, Hawke’s Bay and Auckland.
In 2016, after a six-year stint in Auckland as a production studio supervisor, Emily and husband Brian moved back to Marton with their two young children.
Two years later an opportunity came for Emily to join NZ Farm Life Media as Country-Wide’s designer and having worked for Country-Wide 15 years ago it was a comfortable transition back into the team, and she’s glad to be back.
