Creative Problem Solver

Hi! I’m Erica — a San Francisco based product designer on a mission to bring a little more joy into the world. Whether it’s through thoughtful details or playful interactions, I believe great design should feel as delightful as it is useful. I find inspiration in everyday moments and spend my off-hours wandering the city with my mutt, JiJi, always on the lookout for our next favorite spot.

My design philosophy 💭

My design approach to achieving happy customers and excellent results

My design approach to achieving happy customers and excellent results

User empathy

The first and most important key to any successful product, feature, or user journey, is user empathy. Who are my users? How do they feel when they use my designs? How can I empower my users to achieve greater productivity, enjoyment, and creativity?

Visual design

Drawing from my background in graphic design and branding, I am always trying to bridge the gap between complicated workflows and visual excellence. How can I make this user experience more visually aesthetic, simplistic, and easy to use?

Data driven results

Product design is not just about painting a pretty picture, I strive for building user experiences backed by data and research in pursuit for exceptional results. Happy customers make me a motivated and fulfilled product designer.
