i’m erin
A ux/ui, graphic designer and the dimpled face behind no dead ends co.
As an adoptee, you’re quick to learn life doesn’t always go as expected.
i expected to be a graphic designer after graduating in ‘15, but instead i became a hiit instructor, an english teacher, a dog walker, a production manager, and a bartender in a jerry garcia bar.
- but every time i wondered if i had widened the distance between myself and those expectations i had associated with success.
no dead ends co. serves as a reminder to me that
