She just completed assisting Mindy Eshelman on City Theater’s production of The Wanderers. Currently, she is the Costume Designer for Carnegie Mellon School of Music’s production of Der Kaiser Von Atlantis, directed by Karina Aviva. 

Her love for performing coupled with her ability to sew at a young age, which fostered her interest in costume design. Emma sets out to tell meaningful stories with creativity and care, which is strengthened in collaboration.

Emma saturated her experience at CMU to the fullest extent, holding executive leadership positions in student organizations, writing for the campus magazine, and, most recently, designing a fashion line in the annual Lunar Gala fashion show.
