Emilie Baltz
Emilie Baltz is an immersive experience director and multisensory artist who explores how the human senses work together to craft perception and meaning. Best known for her delightful, innovative work in food & technology, Emilie uses food as a medium (and metaphor) for designing multisensory experiences. With 20+ years of work in design, performance, events, hospitality, technology and new media, her expertise lies in using the 5 senses to tell stories that deepen engagement through embodiment. She presently is the Creative Director for Digital Experience Design at Gensler, the world’s largest architecture firm, where she explores how immersive experience and integrated technology can transform the human relationship to space. Her work has been featured internationally by leading cultural institutions, as well as supported by patrons, brands and communities that believe that embodied art, design and imagination can be used to positively transform society from the inside, out.
