<hello>

Hi, I'm Erika 👋🏼 I work in both UX/UI design and frontend development, which gives me a unique perspective on building products. I move fluidly between design and code, and my passion is creating experiences that make a real impact and drive meaningful results.

<what I do>

UX/UI Design

Beautiful, functional user experiences start with research, testing, and iteration. I design interfaces that solve real problems and meet user needs and business goals. Whether reimagining existing products or starting fresh, every project gets strategic thinking and meticulous attention to detail.

Frontend Development

Clean, maintainable code brings designs to life. Specializing in modern JavaScript frameworks, I build responsive, accessible interfaces that perform seamlessly across devices. My deep understanding of design principles means pixel-perfect implementation without sacrificing code quality.

Design Systems

Consistency and speed come from well-crafted design systems. From design tokens to component libraries, I create scalable systems that work for designers and developers alike. Strong documentation ensures seamless adoption and long-term maintenance.

Web Development

Fast, scalable websites and applications require careful planning from architecture to deployment. Handling both client and server-side development, I create robust digital experiences that prioritize performance, security, and maintainability, ensuring projects stand the test of time.
