About

Hello! My name is Emily, and I have a massive passion for the arts. Even from a young age I have always been fascinated with art and creating things using my hands. In primary school a teacher pushed me to try out from Dulwich High School of Visual Arts and Design, from there my love for creativity has only grown and developed.

In high school I became engrossed in the world of fantasy, action, adventure and sci-fi films, from there I found the world of prop making. Too young to apply for NIDA the year after I graduated high school I continued to develop my passion with a year at the National Art School. Coupled with excitement towards getting out into the industry I made it to NIDA in 2023. Where I am continuing to develop my skills within the industry.
