EMMELINE E. WILKS-DUPOISE
based in Brooklyn,
often in Mexico City
As a visual artist with a love of storytelling, I have been drawn to the expressive world building of the art department for over a decade. I am a New York based production designer, excited to connect with new communities of artists. I love traveling for projects.
I grew up in a small town in Vermont before moving to New York City in 2005 to study film production at NYU. I love designing set builds, communicating emotion through color, & getting deep in the research & details. I immerse myself in new experiences with an open heart.
I have designed feature films including Port Authority (starring Leyna Bloom), Radium Girls (a 1920s period piece ) & King Jack (Independent Spirit Award Winner). Recently, I designed ten episodes for Brie Larson’s Disney+ Growing Up series. Memorable production design work has premiered at Cannes, SXSW & Tribeca. You can find my projects on HBO, Netflix, Showtime, Disney+ & Mubi. I have designed hybrid documentaries, most recently HBO’s You Were My First Boyfriend as well as the Prince Doc for Netflix. Theater adaptations include The Courtroom (written & produced by Arian Moyad). Live Events include Ranboo's Generation Loss for Twitch. Music video design has expanded my work into the surreal & stylized. Credits include Norah Jones, Future, Lil’ Kim & Peso Pluma. Commercial work includes production design for Telfar, Mcann’s NY Lottery ad, multiple cover shoots for Hello Beautiful magazine & set design for The New Yorker editor interviews. I have been blessed to collaborate with artists including Lorna Simpson, Arthur Jafa & Julie Dash. My projects have brought me to all coasts, small towns & large cities, the beaches of Bimini, the blues trail in Mississippi, the south of France & Mexico City.
When I'm not designing sets, I can be found visiting family, gardening in Brooklyn, painting & foraging.
