Korean adoptee, part-time platinum blonde, and and the Founder and Designer behind No Dead Ends Co.
good design begins with the right questions - not the right look.
Hi, I’m Erin Farrington 👋 Founder and Designer for No Dead Ends Co.
I graduated with a degree in graphic design from Biola University back when Tumblr was cool and galaxy printed-pants were considered fashion. Since then, I’ve spent the last decade designing across a wide range of industries - from consumer product graphics for brands like Kroger, HomeGoods, TJ Maxx, and Home Depot, to fundraising brochures for a South-Sudanese non-profit, logo designs for a K-Town cafe, and even a quick side-quest teaching Advanced Book Design at Portland State University.
No Dead Ends isn’t just a super cool name . It's a pattern I've lived throughout my life.
As an adoptee (🇰🇷), I know what it means to question identity, sort through complexity, and come through the other side with a clearer sense of who you are and where you’re headed.
Design requires a similar train of thought: ideas, questions, critiques, and resolutions. It’s the creative butter churn, and I’m under the belief that a tenacious sense of curiosity is what makes a designer different than just an artist.
This mindset inspired No Dead Ends Co. and is the backbone behind it.
Good design begins with the right questions, not the right look.
Most design problems aren't visual problems. They're identity problems, communication problems, and confidence problems. I help businesses uncover where those issues intersect, then solve them through creative strategy and design
When you work with No Dead Ends Co., you work directly with me.
No account managers. No endless red tape.
Just a designer who understands what it means to build something from nothing and knows businesses need more than just a pretty logo.
