Born and raised in Ecuador, Emilia has always been passionate about the visual arts, inspired by her family’s deep roots in the fine art world. She studied Art Direction for Cinema at FUC Fundación Universidad del Cine in Buenos Aires and later focused on Scenography and Visual Arts at IUNA Instituto Nacional de Arte.

As both a visual artist and painter, Emilia approaches production design with an intuitive understanding of color, composition, form, and space. Her visual language is deeply rooted in artistic practice, with a special attention to texture, atmosphere, and organic details that allow spaces to tell their own stories naturally.

Since 2017, Emilia has worked as a production designer, creating compelling visual worlds for over 200 commercials and several films. She has collaborated with renowned directors like Max Malin, Dave Meyers, and Marc Foster. Her work has been recognized with multiple Colibri Awards for Best Production Designer in Ecuador (2020 and 2022).

In 2024, Emilia led the jury panel for the Shots Awards in the United States. Based in Mexico City, she works both locally and internationally, and is fluent in Spanish and English.
