Emie Lee

Emie was born in the city of Taipei, but spent her youth in the American suburbs of Kansas City. She graduated from the University of California Los Angeles with a degree in Design|Media Arts.

Many find Emie’s work ethereal, delicate, and dream-like. Her vision translates into commercials, music videos, on-air branding campaigns for production companies in Los Angeles, New York, and London. Apple, British Airways, Coca Cola, Cartoon Network, MTV, Nike, and Vodafone all share her work. Emie’s art exhibits at the Hive Gallery in LA, in the pages of Grafuck Magazine, and on New York’s independent fashion label, Cykochik handbags. Her illustration for Vodafone reached the London Underground and her video billboard for Zune lit up New York City’s Times Square.Emie was honored with a BDA design award, and her short films have been screened and distributed by Smile Faucet, a video magazine and DVD release in NYC.

From her roots as a keyboardist in the experimental LA band My Velcroe, Emie has since directed music videos. She recently finished a video for Many Birthdays, an experimental/electro/indie band in Austin.
