Creative Specialist

Erin is among the most creative and strategic designers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. At World Golf Tour (acquired by Topgolf), she was instrumental in translating our product goals into visual & UI designs that to this day remain a cornerstone of our business. A rare combination of strong creative instincts with a passionate entrepreneurial mind truly sets Erin apart -- and makes her so valuable for any project or team.

Product Design Leader

Erin interviewed me for one of the core design teams she founded. She set the foundation for the Internal Apps Design team at LinkedIn, which I lead today. The team has matured over time and finds its backbone in the definition as set together by Erin.

She is an inspiration for designers around, growing and managing several teams. She takes this business of inspiring people and growing talent very seriously while creating a focused vision for teams she supports. Erin is a pleasure to work with, and I’d recommend Erin for any leadership position.

Erin has a great eye for design and a natural ability to foster those around her to be better. As my mentor and manager at LinkedIn, Erin really helped me grow and develop my skills as a User Experience designer. With her proactive attitude and positive energy, she has the ability to push teams to achieve better design excellence by really questioning the status quo. She's definitely someone I can always trust to achieve top-notch results.

I worked with Erin on the now popular eBay Fashion iPhone App. Erin has this knack for coming up with innovative user interfaces to effectively present complex and often challenging data, within the smaller screen space, in visually engaging ways. Her willingness to work with engineers to translate her visions into concrete products is commendable. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her.

Senior Engineering Manager – Accessibility

As a Sr Manager for UI, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Erin on a number of efforts for LinkedIn's infrastructure tools. Erin is a design visionary. Her design thinking is far ahead of others. She does not hesitant. And, she takes lead. Frankly, she takes so much lead that she leaves everyone behind. If you are lucky to have Erin on your team, I suggest letting her run free and allow her to focus on designing 'stuff' for Big Hairy Audacious Goals! Highly recommend Erin!

Erin did a great job as the Creative Director of the eBay Fashion app. The goal was to create an app that looked amazing and was easy to use and we accomplished that. Erin was a joy to work with and did a fantastic job of listening to ideas and incorporating feedback into her designs.

Engineering Manager

I worked with Erin closely in the experimentation platform, she managed the design team in charge of designing beautiful experiences for internal applications. Erin is driven, thinks outside the box, she is not afraid of challenges, and now, thanks to her valuable contributions, our internal applications make user experience a first class citizen.

Without Erin's valuable contributions and leadership we wouldn't have been able to get to a state where user experience in internal applications is as important as in consumer products.

Principal Software Engineer GenAI

I've had the privilege to work with Erin on several mobile projects at eBay. The most significant was our "See It On" feature within the eBay Fashion app for which we garnered a 2011 UK Appy award, tons of press, and high visibility at trade shows.

Erin is a well seasoned Creative Director behind UX/UI Design and has a distinct eye for detail. She is tireless when it comes to making sure that everything on the screen looks perfect; anything less is not an option.

I enjoyed working with Erin to translate in code her spotless creative concepts. She has strong opinions backed by many years in the industry, but she is also flexible and can change the design around on a dime when she buys into new ideas. She is a hard and passionate worker whom you will find still toiling away at 4am to ensure that everything stitches together seamlessly.

I highly recommend Erin as she will be a key contributor within any team and is a pleasure to work with.

Vice President, Social Impact

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Erin at LinkedIn. She is truly exceptional. Her design and creative skills are top notch but what really sets her apart is her obsession with excellence and focus on truly understanding the "client" - whether that is an internal stakeholder or an external customer.

Monica Schwartz

I worked with Erin on a number of design projects including Fashion Vault and a Fashion mobile app. Erin always brought an incredible design sensibility along with a great work ethic to the table. She was a constant innovator challenging us to implement cutting edge design. She had a great sense of information architecture and always placed the customer first. In addition to her professional abilities, Erin was fun to work with and could always be counted on to meet deadlines. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Erin again.

Email Marketing Manager

Erin and I both managed teams which had some overlap and required coordination. She was always responsive when there were issues that needed to be resolved or planning/coordination that needed to happen. We were always able to get successful results and, thanks to Erin's prompt feedback, we were able to do so with minimal disruption.

Ken Raschko

VP of Art

Erin efforts at World Golf Tour helped lay the foundation of what the game is today. Her early work developing the design of WGT and even integrating of in-game assets in those early days defined WGT's style in both the game and the web site.

Erin's later work designing the chat client widget was an ambitious and impressive design. The challenging task of taking on of WGT's award system was executed very well as she sought out the talent to create the assets, directed the design, and helped integrate what came out to be nearly 600 pieces of award art.

Erin is a dedicated worker, has a wonderful eye for design, has a vast knowledge of Adobe Flash, and she is a pleasure to work with.

I got the pleasure of working in the same team with Erin during her time at LinkedIn. During her time here she handled communication between the external agencies and in-house designers. She made the process of handing over assets easy and stress free. Along with that, she provided great feedback for what needed to be delivered.

Michael Haggerty-Villa

Director, Content Strategy

In the project that I worked with Erin on, she lead both the interaction and visual design for an ambitious new online platform for selling luxury goods. Erin demonstrates exceptional and deep understanding of the user's needs and how the business can achieve success by meeting those demands. As we developed the product, she adapted quickly to changing requirements and was able to present creative, workable solutions fast. When the product needed enhancements (based on business requirements and usability testing), she drew from her extensive knowledge of web design standards and practices to come up with solutions that fit within budget and time constraints -- without limiting further development of the product. Intuitive and detail-oriented (yes, she knows that 6 pixels can make a big difference), Erin is a talented design leader who can guide any web design effort to success.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Erin for little over a year on the Helpcenter Ikea project. Her eye for design, personal coaching and positive management attitude made her a pillar for the team to turn to in uncertain waters. I was very impressed with her hunger for critical feedback which helped the team forge not just a good design, but an exceptional one.

Thanks for all the hard work Erin!

Senior Director, Commerce Platform

Passionate, hard-working, and extremely resourseful, Erin has a great eye for detail in all of her creative designs while laser-focused on the customer/end user's needs. She is able to articulate her vision and guide all stakeholders through her thought process and rationale as she is always thinking outside of the box, even when people around her aren't. What I most appreciate about Erin is that she is able to take an idea and run with it....pushing the envelope always to deliver stunning visuals with given constraints and resources.
