To imagine and realize human-centered experiences and interactions -- that very instinct is both a compass and a tool. "

Erika surrounds herself with a variety of cultures which helps keep her design perspectives open, well-rounded and diverse.

If anyone I've ever met is human-centered, it's Erika. She doesn't look at design without looking at the person / people it's going to affect and the emotions, thoughts, and vibes she wants to evoke from them. That's HUGE!
