As a designer and maker, Erin has always been enamored with architectural elements and motifs.
This particular affinity began during her childhood years in Northern Virginia, when her father first introduced her to the subtleties of old architecture. During their car rides together, he would often take detours through older neighborhoods with historic homes, pointing out the ornate details and patterns adorning their facades. As she grew older, Erin adopted a similar love for these motifs, and architectural elements have consistently appeared throughout her work ever since.
In the years to follow, Erin attended Lehigh University for Graphic Design, but eventually transferred to Pratt Institute in 2013. Since then, Erin has taken various courses at Pratt, FIT and London College of Fashion, focusing on the design and fabrication of jewelry and small scale accessories. During her time in New York, Erin has had the opportunity to intern under designers such as Monique Péan and Lele Sadoughi. Most recently, Erin's work was exhibited at the SNAG Adorned Spaces Exhibition 2015 and the Pratt Institute 2015 Reaccreditation Show.
In the spring of 2016, Erin graduated with a BFA in Jewelry from Pratt Institute. After graduation, Erin plans to continue exploring her affinity for architecture and recycled materials through jewelry and small scale accessories.
