WHO IS ERIKA? I'm a brand designer with experience creating digital and print materials, for legal, healthcare, pharmaceutical, medical education, architecture, non profits, financial, real estate, music promotions, theater promotion, corporate identity, educational publishing development, and editorial - to name a few.

I am flexible and resourceful in the face of changing expectations, deadlines and requirements, fastidious with file creation and typography. I've been noted, by previous managers, to have exceptional time management. I have managed a design department with 1-3 designers. I am intelligent, honest, ethical and have a straightforward, honest style of communication. Former coworkers have noted "(she) has a pleasant personality, which remains calm under pressure."

Accolades from my last position at Mayer Brown from clients, people I worked with daily, projects concept to completion.

I love to travel. I'm an avid reader, huge live music fan, curious Chicago explorer and relatively fearless urban cyclist. I'm an active transit ambassador for public transportation, and walkable cities #walkbiketransit I'm also a huge rescue dog fan.

i have written a book about Syria, which is available for sale!

I indulge my international typography obsession on my instagram account.
