Episode 152 - Emilie Chen - Freelance Designer and Art Director - London EN.
Today's guest is Emilie Chen. She is a Freelance Designer and Art Director out of London EN. She is also one of the leaders for the London chapter of Ladies Wine & Design.
During this episode we talk about:
-why getting a library card started fulfilling her creative path.
-how her first direction was actually into Science and Biology.
-the printed theatre program she did the design for and why it still stands out to her.
-how she graduated from uni the year of the recession and the challenges she faced finding work in Paris at that time.
-the recruiter she met during that time that reassured her that her work was great but suggested she try a different method to stand out.
-the theatre project she had a tough time representing what the show was about through design, the lesson she learned, and what happened.
Emilie has a really unique journey to the creative field and her love for theatre, museums, and art really come through. @spottedbyem
