Consulting & Sensory Strategy
Most organizations know what they want to make. Fewer know what they want people to feel. Emilie works with innovation teams, brands, and institutions to close that gap — bringing 20+ years of experience strategy and multisensory, human perception research into the rooms where decisions get made. The result is thinking that is rigorous, embodied, and built to translate into real work.

Creative Direction
The future of human experience is not just on a screen. It is in the body. From large-scale installations to brand experiences, Emilie directs work that earns its place in people’s memory. Every project starts with a strategic question — what should this make someone feel, understand, or do differently — and builds outward from there. The making and the thinking are never separate. Working closely with clients and integrated teams, she leads the vision and execution of immersive experiences, campaigns, and environments for brands, cities and institutions.

Experiments
Every experiment tests a specific question about human perception and sensory behavior — self-initiated or commissioned by a client, and always in the real world. They are the laboratory behind the practice, and the source of the frameworks we bring to every project. The findings feed directly into the consulting methodology, the creative direction work, and over a decade of teaching at the School of Visual Arts.

Inventions
These are Emilie’s original works — conceived, designed, and owned. Each invention explores a specific question about human perception and sensory experience, and exists as a standalone object, installation, or system. They are available for licensing, exhibition, and partnership with brands and institutions who want to bring them into new contexts.

Speaking
Emilie is an internationally recognized speaker on the future of human experience, multisensory design, and the role of the senses in shaping how people connect, decide, and remember. She has spoken at TEDx, DLD, PSFK, and Creative Mornings, and appeared on NBC, the TODAY Show, and in the Wall Street Journal. Her talks are grounded in 20 years of practice, original research, and a methodology taught at SVA — making them as useful to an innovation team as they are inspiring to a creative audience. She is available for conferences, corporate events, and institutional programming.
