Hi, I’m Erin. I make things; ideas, brands, spaces, experiences real.
I’m a creative and design leader who has always believed curiosity is the best tool in the box. If something doesn’t exist yet, I’ll figure out how to build it. That’s been the through-line of my career (and honestly, my life).
I’ve led creative teams, built a studio from scratch inside a fast-growing tech company, and worked both agency and brand side, helping ideas find their voice and form. I’ve made plenty of things outside the office too. The medium changes, but the drive’s the same: to make something that connects.
Right now I’m collaborating with creatives, teams, brands and fellow visionaries on freelance and contract projects that mix design, storytelling, and a little bit of experimentation. I’ve got a soft spot for people- and mission-driven work, music-related projects, and brands brave enough to challenge the expected.
If that sounds like your kind of energy, let’s make something good.
