Hey friends! I am Erin, a new york based illustrator/designer with a strong background in fashion design. I worked as a fashion designer at macy’s for 14 years. I climbed the corporate ladder from assistant designer to design director. I learned so much not only about design and manufacturing but how to build a brand and run a business.

Unfortunately in 2020 I was laid off from macy’s. i am thankful for everything macy’s has given me but it allowed me the time and freedom to explore my creativity in new and exciting ways. I took online classes in multi media, worked as a package designer and then at an animation studio. this experimental period refueled my passion for art and made me realized how much I enjoyed illustration. i combined my love for apparel and illustration and design some of my own tee shirts that i sold online and at in person markets.

I love working on new projects and would love to work on some fun, bold, and edgy artwork for your brand that MAKE WAVES AND sET YOU APART FROM THE COMPETITION.
