She left French Polynesia at the age of seven and settled in France with her mother and brother on the beautiful island of Noirmoutier. She developed a passion for creativity at an early age, and later majored in Art History. After graduation, she started a photography career. In 2018, Emilie felt the urge to reconnect with her Polynesian roots and returned to Tahiti, which prompted her to change her life and to pursue her childhood dream of becoming an illustrator. Emilie now lives in Nantes in France and travels regularly to Polynesia where she has renewed strong ties.
