For the celebration of Nike’s new retail store at the Montreal Eaton centre, I was commissioned to create 20 vibrant illustrations inspired by the city, sports, and street art. Amongst these designs was my own take on the iconic Nike "Swoosh" and “ Just do it”, as well as various characters engaging in sport. These illustrations were transformed into “Nike’s Customization Studio stickers”,which are iron on decals consumers could use to customize their Nike apparel on site during the store opening.
This was an immersive and interactive event, inviting people to be creative with their custom designs and interact with me in the heart of the Eaton Center. Once designs were conceptualized, they were heat pressed on site with the help of a specialized team. The results one of a kind unique, collectible pieces of apparel created using vibrant and playful artworks.

Hello, my name is Emcie, and I am an illustrator and artist based in Montreal Québec. With a strong sensibility for narrative, I create highly emotive characters and scenes distinguished by vibrant colours, bold lines, patterns and movement. I am a disabled artist living chronic illness, making art helps me navigate myself and explore my inner world. My process is fuelled by my affinity for humour, joy and storytelling, and as a result I carry a unique capacity for exploring both difficult and playful subjects. The characters i create are dynamic and lively, drawn from my own experiences and well as magic and surreal elements.
The name Spll Girl is inspired by clumsiness and my unabashed desire to spill into what I see, do, and feel. The missing “ I” in spill is a result of a typo i decided to embrace.
I have collaborated with commercial brands, advertising agencies, magazines, newspapers and publishers, and agencies.
Looking forward to meeting you and working on a project.
