But you can just call me Erika (she/her)! :)

Growing up in the vibrant neighborhoods of the Bay Area as a young Filipino woman, I discovered my passion for graphic design through the rhythm and energy of dance.

I immersed myself in the local dance community and began to appreciate the visual storytelling behind each performance—the costumes, stage setups, and promotional materials that brought the art form to life.

This creative environment sparked my curiosity for design, leading to explore how colors, shapes, and typography could convey emotion and narrative, much like the choreography I’ve learned. Balancing my dedication to dance with my newfound interest in graphic design, I embarked on a journey that allowed myself to blend my two passions, ultimately shaping my unique artistic identity.
