A creative soul with a rebellious streak, Emily Sue Smith thrives in the chaos of big ideas, wild art, and spontaneous adventures. She’s the kind of person who’ll impulsively start a new project at midnight, throw a themed party just for the symbolism, and turn a passing thought into a fully-formed narrative arc. Whether she’s dreaming up surreal worlds, championing the misfits, or turning everyday moments into narrative gold, Emily lives for the beautifully unhinged - where emotion meets absurdity, and where the rules are more like suggestions.

Fueled by passion, curiosity, and an ever-expanding list of creative obsessions, she moves through the world collecting collaborators like found objects - each one adding to the ever-evolving collage of her work. Lately, that work includes a debut novel and a self-published poetry collection about her gender transition - a lyrical excavation of identity and becoming - that will be available for pre-order soon. She’s also got essays, scripts, and short stories in the works, all orbiting themes of transformation, longing, and the strange beauty of modern life.

Emily believes in chasing the spark, embracing the weird, and rewriting the story when it no longer fits. She’s not here to color inside the lines - she’s here to draw new ones, in Sharpie.

Every great idea starts with someone saying “That’ll never work.” Emily is usually the one saying, “Wanna bet?”
