“Does she have power tools in there?!?” — Emily’s sister, circa 2007 Cut to: Emily Müller, age 12, sanding away at a wooden chopstick using a miniature battery-powered fan (that was also a pen, probably won as a prize from one of those elementary school wrapping-paper-sales fundraisers. It was the early aughts, after all). She was turning a pair of takeout chopsticks into something else and couldn’t be bothered to sand by hand, so she cut the vinyl blades off the fan and hot glued a tiny square of sandpaper to the middle of the propeller. She sat at her parents’ old drafting table, where she’d once built a miniature car with a working roll-down convertible top out of green craft foam and scraps of pinstripe fabric. It surprised *no one* that Emily eventually found her way out of small town Colorado and onto Hollywood sound stages designing film sets and building props. As a multifaceted artist & designer who thrives on creative challenges, Emily views each project of hers as a puzzle. She can easily adapt to any style or genre and loves detail work. She’s held a strong interest in storytelling and spatial design throughout her life, always fascinated by how our surroundings affect the way we live, work, play, and interact with each other. Emily now spends her time between film production, creative freelance projects, fine art & ceramics, and designing commercial & residential interiors around Los Angeles. Oh, and she has real power tools now.
