CAN I GET
A ?!

If I were a dog, I'd be a golden doodle. When you meet me, you'll get it...and it's not just the hair. As a creative human, I'm conceptually driven, detail oriented, inspired by collaboration, and endlessly excited by new opportunities.

On a personal level, I was born in Japan, I love long walks, the beach, and long walks on the beach. I also have 16 tattoos (and counting). My favorite is on my ankle and shocker, it says yeehaw.

“Erin's strong suits combine to form the ultimate creative skill set. Not only does she have a passion and exuberance for the work that make her a firehouse for ideas and initiative, she also knows how to receive and riff with the ideas of others and be exploratory and adaptable. She knows how to be open enough to break into new creative territory, and yet directed enough to move a project steadily forward. Additionally, one of my favorite things about working with Erin is that she collaborates with copywriters holistically, focusing on the project as a whole rather than siloing in her design skill set.”

"Erin is a team player through and through. She collaborates effectively with colleagues and has become a go-to person for team members to shadow. Erin’s strong work ethic, reliability, and a passion for her craft is evident in the quality of her work. She has strong technical skills which further enhances her ability to deliver outstanding designs under tight deadlines. I would vouch for Erin time and time again. I truly rely on her design eye, gut instinct and leadership know how weekly. Any team would be lucky to have her."

“Erin is the kind of designer who always pushes the boundaries of a brand, all while finishing projects in pretty much the speed of light. Not only is she an incredibly talented and thoughtful designer, but she also brings people together with her warm and vibrant personality. Erin is often the one who kicks off productive discussions about a brand’s new identity or drops fun ice-breakers that bring the team closer together.”

Lydia H

Teammate, Visual Designer

“Beyond visual design, she's also a talented illustrator, animator, photographer, and marketer. She brings this blend of skills to every one of our projects, creating visuals that really hit the mark and tell our story perfectly. What really sets Erin apart is her strategic approach to her work. She's not just about making things look good; she's great at understanding the bigger picture and how design fits into our overall strategy. I can't recommend Erin enough for any role where creativity, technical chops, strategic thinking, and a cool attitude are key. She's so easy to work with, and I love her positive energy.”
