Taleology

Emma is the founder and creative force behind Taleology, a specialty shop offering handcrafted custom pet portraits + accessories for the modern pet parent. Taleology is an all in-house, one-woman production run by Emma herself, under the watchful eyes of her furry supervisors.

Emma's distinctive designs stem from her unique art style of ink and paper drawings. Her whimsical illustrations capture the personalities and endearing quirks of our beloved animal companions. Through Taleology, Emma is committed to partnering with animal rescue and welfare groups. A portion of every purchase is donated to local animal shelters in New York City.

Taleology was founded in 2023 and is a proud partner of the Made in NYC initiative, which celebrates locally-made products. Emma's passion for her craft is deeply rooted in her family's artistic legacy. Her father was a talented fine artist, and his passing in 2010 inspired Emma to honor his memory by creating her own art and establishing Taleology.

For Emma, pets are more than just animals; they are cherished members of our families who bring us immense joy and companionship. Through her delightful creations at Taleology, she aims to celebrate the unique bond between pets and their owners while giving back to animal welfare causes close to her heart

Taleology was born by solving my own need; finding tangible pet portraits I could carry with me everywhere that were not colored. I thought back to the time when I would go to souvenir shops and try to find my name, but never could. I was having the same issue with finding items that looked my dogs or had meaning to me. This is why I built out personalized design keychains and my custom pet portrait line.
