Every space tells a story.
Design by Erin E. is a creative studio rooted in the belief that every space tells a story—yours.
I am an artist and designer who creates environments that are thoughtfully transformed into curated sanctuaries—eclectic, nature-inspired, and uniquely tailored to you. Each design reflects your energy, your needs, and your style, whether you're drawn to organic calm or bold, vibrant expression. With a resourceful, healing approach and a love for blending natural textures, artistic elements, and cultural influences, I create spaces that feel good, function beautifully, and speak directly to who you are.
This is design that celebrates your everyday and elevates the way you feel…at home, at work, or in the places where people gather, connect, and experience life.
services I offer include:
-
Comprehensive design for residential, commercial, or event spaces—from concept to completion. Includes space planning, sourcing, styling, and project coordination tailored to your lifestyle and aesthetic.

For more than twenty years, I’ve created thoughtful, purpose-driven design visions for friends, family, and personal projects—work that naturally evolved alongside my professional career as a communications, branding, and creative leader. My portfolio reflects a blend of interior design, art direction, and environmental storytelling, shaped by experience designing homes, retail spaces, and community-centered environments.
Each project showcases my ability to develop a cohesive vision—through mood boards, color palettes, layout planning, style identification, and curated sourcing—while honoring the personality, needs, and story of each space.

about
Hello! I’m Erin E.—a name inspired by my middle name, Elizabeth, and made special because it’s what my grandmother and a few close family members and friends always called me. I’m a lifelong creative with a deep-rooted passion for transforming spaces. Long before launching my studio, I was building Barbie dream homes out of shoeboxes, sketching layouts with Legos, and glued to This Old House and Trading Spaces. One of my earliest memories is visiting the paint and wallpaper store—flipping through endless samples and feeling the thrill of choosing patterns, colors, and textures for my childhood bedroom. That spark never left.
My connection to design grew over the years—devouring Elle Décor as a teen, envisioning room makeovers, and falling in love with every HGTV show that celebrated creativity and personal style.
For over 20 years, I built a career in marketing, branding, and communications—most recently as a Vice President in the nonprofit sector. A visual designer and artist at heart, my work has always centered on storytelling, aesthetics, and creating experiences that connect people to purpose.
Throughout my life, I’ve returned to design again and again—remodeling retail spaces, helping friends and family reimagine their homes, and dreaming up cozy corners just for joy. Inspired by nature, culture, and the emotional power of color, I see every space as a living canvas—and an opportunity to uplift the people and artists who inhabit it.
Design by Erin E. is the natural evolution of that passion: a blend of artistry, intuition, and soulful curation. Today, I create thoughtful, story-filled spaces that spark joy, honor individuality, and celebrate the beauty of everyday life.
