Coming by her talent legitimately (and proudly) through her paternal grandmother, Emma has always had an artistic eye, often spending her time working on drawings and crafts as a child. She honed her artistic and design skills in her teen years, later studying Industrial Design at Carleton University. Following her graduation in 2012, Emma was employed by the Senate of Canada for three years, primarily working on the retrofitting of the Parliament Buildings project. In 2015, Emma started her own graphic design business, which allows her the opportunity to fully explore the many creative aspects of design.

Emma is an elite athlete in the sport of curling, and she was recently able to wear her Team Canada Olympic jacket designs during her time competing at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeong Chang.
