About

Emily is a Director who strives to create playful work that doesn’t compromise on meaning.

Born and based in London, her portfolio speaks for itself as to the importance it places on inclusive representation, both in front and behind the camera.

With a sentimentality for the creativity of childhood, her work seeks to reinvent: Whether a client brief or creative stimulus, the ability to imagine the world differently is present throughout her films. Thanks to a formative training in dance, she brings to screen a kinetic musicality, most notable in her choreographic camera work and synchronised editing style.

Emily's background in advertising has seen her work on a variety of projects, including the ground-breaking United Nations' Cannes Lion and D&AD award winning campaign, The People's Seat. 

She is currently commercially directing with a specialism in social-first, creative content for clients including Universal Music, Facebook, and Net-a-Porter.
