Emilie Baltz is a sensory storyteller.
A French-American food technologist and experience designer who focuses on food, Baltz teaches Experience Design at the School of Visual Arts (SVA), is the founder of the Food Design Studio at Pratt Institute, and lectures around the world on the transformative power of food experience in the lives of creators and consumers. She has published two books and won the Best First Cookbook in the World at the Prix Gourmand in the Louvre in Paris.

A creator of immersive experiences, innovation workshops and products for major brands that catalyze new ways of thinking, inventing and engaging with the world, Emilie’s work—at the crossroads of design, performance, and visual arts—has gained her international press attention. She holds a Masters of Industrial Design from Pratt Institute and, most definitely, believes in Unicorns.
