Emilie has lived and worked in cities around the world, from London and Paris to Singapore and Shanghai. During her time in Shanghai, she served as academic leader, designer, and senior lecturer at the Shanghai Institute of Visual Art.

A self-taught filmmaker, Emilie’s debut documentary, 'Howard Tangye - A Portrait of an Artist', explores the life and philosophy of the artist Howard Tangye. The film marks a significant step in Emilie’s multidisciplinary journey, blending her passion for art and design with her love for storytelling and moving images.
