Emily's practice and research revolves around the ways artists think and act creatively and how this creativity can be translated to bridge diverse fields

 

This website showcases Emily's thesis projects, which investigate the the ways artists think and solve problems creatively and tests examples of the ways arts thinking can be used as a strategy to bring innovation, diverse methods, and changemaking to projects and organizations in traditionally non-arts contexts (such as in urban planning, local government, and the business sector).  The outcomes and documentation of these projects can be explored within this website.
