About
Emily cut her teeth designing march posters, printing on bedsheets, and making a scene about divestment and the TMX pipeline.
She has worked as an illustrator and muralist and recently moved to K’ómoks First Nation territories to work at Wachiay screen print studio, following a craving to make things with her own two hands.
Emily comes from two lines of restless settlers: Hokkien Chinese-Malaysians, and Mennonites who immigrated to Treaty 1 territory.
Talk to her about: colours, comics, analogue design, traditional crafts, movement building, and creative troublemaking!

I’m currently looking for mural and large-scale projects, and occasional illustration work.
