Hi, I’m Erika 👋 and I’m passionate about providing users with the best product experience through data-driven findings and user-centered design.
I'm currently a Senior Product Designer for Shopify on our Growth team. Previously, I worked at Codecademy on the Growth team, having a hand in areas at the start of the learner journey with pricing and checkout to mid-journey with our home dashboard to the end of their journey with the cancellation flow, and United Airlines having focuses in account management, onboard wi-fi and entertainment, and airport signage.
I originally began my journey in social media customer experience and pivoted into product management as a business analyst and product manager. While working in product management, my curiosity grew for UX research and design. I realized the importance of incorporating both into my work, and took a focus on UX within my business analyst role before transitioning into a full-time UX design position after completing my Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University.
When I'm not solving product puzzles, you can find me enjoying life in Cleveland hanging out with friends on a patio, playing shuffleboard, or biking around the neighborhood.
