Erica started her design career by hand-coding WordPress themes for indie bands and animal rescues — and somehow that turned into 14 years leading global digital design at PETA, and designing for music festivals like Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Warped Tour. She’s a WordPress nerd, a Figma power-user, and a fierce believer in accessible, meaningful design.
When she’s not designing clean, accessible WordPress sites for causes she cares about, she’s usually out on the trail with her two enormous great danes, or sitting behind her camera asking a wild animal to “hold still for just one more shot.”
