THE SCOOP
-
Hi, I’m Erin
I'm a Senior Product Designer and creative strategist fueled by a constant desire to understand what makes humans tick. I'm a shameless people watcher and love to witness everyday interactions as they unfold. Observing the grocery store checkout, someone meeting a friend for drinks at the neighborhood bar, a customer walking into the store for the first time - these scenarios all drive me to question what could make their experience even better?
Drawing from an interdisciplinary design background that includes work in product design and architecture, I'm passionate about designing integrated brand & cultural experiences that blend seamlessly across touchpoints. I believe that technology can be a powerful tool for good and enjoy exploring human behaviors to better understand what drives us to connect with companies and each other.
