ABOUT erica
My obsession with creative expression began at an early age...
Growing up outside of NYC, visiting with family in Puerto Rico, and countless hours at loud crowded dinner tables helped me draw an indescribable connection to the beauty that culture, community, and nature give us. Most importantly, it's about how these pieces of inspiration and adoration organically show up in all elements of life, enabling me to feel at home in all senses of the word. With this in mind, I want to help manifest a sense of community and belonging by seamlessly blending the elements of design and authentic living on your plates, across your walls, and in your soul.
