Let me introduce myself...

Hi, I'm Erin. I was the kid who sneakily read books under my desk during class, and my obsession with words never stopped.

I'm currently living in San Francisco, CA.

About
Experience

I believe that good technology meets users where they are. As a content designer, I take a research-backed approach to advocate for the people using our products.

I have 5+ years of experience working with cross-functional product teams. I've conducted user research, reimagined information architecture, and contributed to style guides.

In my free time, I volunteer with high school students, enjoy the great outdoors, and win third place at trivia.
