EMMELINE E. WILKS-DUPOISE
based in Brooklyn
I am a New York based production designer and visual artist, excited to travel with collaborators and bring visions to life.
I grew up in a small town in Vermont before moving to New York City to study film production at NYU.
I love designing set builds, expressing emotion through color, and getting deep in the research and transformative details. I specialize in striking designs that remain grounded in reality and playful surrealism.
Feature films include Port Authority, Radium Girls & King Jack, with premieres at Cannes, SXSW & Tribeca. You can find my projects on HBO, Netflix, Hulu, Showtime, Amazon, Twitch & Mubi. Television includes Ezra Edelman's Prince documentary series on Netflix and Brie Larson’s Growing Up series on Disney+. Vow of Silence: The Assassination of Annie Mae, was awarded the 2025 Humanitas Prize. The Hulu docuseries uplifts the indigenous struggle of a Mi'kmaq woman in the American Indian Movement. Theater adaptations include The Courtroom, written & produced by Arian Moyad. Live event production design included sets in an abandoned mall for gamer Ranboo’s Generation Loss interactive live streams on Twitch. Editorial set design include fashion campaigns and window displays for Telfar and Timberland, Erykah Badu’s cover shoot for The Face Magazine, Natasha Rothwell’s cover shoot for Hello Beautiful magazine, Volbeat Album cover design & production design for the New Yorker editor interviews. Music video design includes Norah Jones, Future, Lil’ Kim, Arooj Aftab & Peso Pluma. Commercial design includes ads for Bose, collaborations with McCann New York, Hey Retriever and FatHappy Media. 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. I have been blessed to cross paths with artists including Lorna Simpson, Arthur Jafa & Julie Dash.
When I’m not designing, I can be found collecting seeds, painting & foraging.
