Hi! I'm Erica

I'm a Brooklyn-based artist, designer, writer, and facilitator.

My practice moves between Skypunch, a design and research studio building worlds, brands, and experiences at the intersection of art, landscape, and attention; and Nascent Spiral, an inquiry-based practice where I work with creatives moving through practice and identity expansion.

I also take on select freelance brand work as designer, art director, and creative lead.

Across all of my work, the gesture is the same: synthesis, distillation, the ability to find the essential form of something. Whether the material is a self in transition, a landscape worth slowing down inside, or a brand reaching towards a story to be told.

Hi! I'm Erica

I'm a a Brooklyn-based creative director, designer, and facilitator. My work moves between two practices: Skypunch, which produces retreats and experiential offerings at the intersection of art, landscape, and attention, and Nascent Spiral, an inquiry-based coaching practice for creatives moving through expansion of practice and identity. I also take on select freelance brand work as designer, art director, and creative lead.

Across all of it, the gesture is the same: synthesis, distillation, the ability to find the essential form of something. Whether the material is a self in transition, a landscape worth slowing down inside, or a brand reaching towards a story to be told.

Skypunch is a design and research practice building worlds, shaping brands, and designing experiences at the intersection of art, landscape, and attention.

Nascent Spiral is a crawlspace¹ for inquiry² and chance operations³ in service of creative becoming⁴ and beginning again⁵ (and again)(…)⁶

  1. crawlspace / a habitable in-between; neither basement nor foundation; low ceilings on purpose; you don't stand up straight here; see also: threshold; a playfort

  2. inquiry / not research; not problem-solving; the practice of wanting the question as much as the answer; not knowing as method; to let it live in you awhile

  3. chance operations / the art of creative interference; a roll of the dice; play as a legitimate method; the work that happens when you stop being the only one in charge

  4. creative becoming / ongoing; non-linear; already in progress before you named it; fill in the blank: i am ____

  5. beginning again / see also: Shoshin (初心): A Zen term meaning “beginner’s mind,” emphasizing an attitude of eagerness and lack of preconceptions

  6. (and again)(...) / the return is the practice; beginning is always happening; every version a prototype; every prototype a beginning

Erica brings 13+ years of experience as a conceptual creative lead and art director. They work with brands that have something bold to say, helping sharpen a point of view, build a visual language, and execute it with genuine craft and a distinct sense of play. The work starts with a real idea and moves outward across design, film, photography, animation, 3D, and beyond.
