Her biggest joy in her work is colour. The process involved usually centres around mixing analogue and digital methods. Subjects are generally drawn from nature, such as, imagined or real African landscapes, wildflowers and animals. Her travels growing up and Mozambican heritage may have also contributed to these interests. Emma studied Architecture at Newcastle University and cites this as her biggest education in what she does today.

Emma also works freelance producing logos, patterns and illustrations and has created work for; Oatly, Penguin Random House, Anthropologie, Quercus Books (with Emily Ratajkowski), Lucy and Yak, Books that Matter, Etsy Hackathon 2020, Soho House, Kora Mikino and Dress Like a Mum
