I’m a writer, a poet, a nerd for tech and Star Trek, a Beagle sidekick, and a strategist fighting to protect my right brain from my left brain. I’m a partner in the operation called DVQ Studio, where we evolve culture and energize change agents through the work of communications.
True story: when my mom first held me, she said, “Emily Anne Stoddard, doesn’t that sound like a writer?” And so it was. Today I am called Emily Stoddard Furrow, due to a fantastic arrangement in which I get the undying love of a turbo nerd called Carl Furrow.
This is my personal blog, although that feels like an odd caveat since my work is a reflection of my passion and vice versa.

From our trip to California, Fall 2011. Just moments after I chased down the edge of the water to touch the Pacific Ocean for the first time.
Mostly introverted when it comes to people, pretty intense when it comes to ideas.
