Erin also took on a role as Decor Lead for a hosted theme camp Star Star Roadhouse at Burning Man between 2015 - 2019 curating and designing spaces within provided structures for 150-crew and 50-guests to enjoy. Star Star also put on a 3-night rock-opera, circus production under an ever-evolving 500+ capacity venue, of which Erin also performed in.

Erin transitioned her career focus to home staging, taking a position with Spade and Archer at all three of their three locations — Portland, Seattle, and Los Angeles. The LA office was the newest of the three branches, with which Erin held position as the Creative Director for the majority of its time in operation. The LA office closed due to pandemic impacts, however, so Erin and her now husband, Brett, decided to make the move back up to Portland, OR, to re-establish their NW roots and build a family together.

Erin has worn many hats and held many titles throughout her career for entities ranging from small, local boutiques to globally marketed companies. She has been behind-the-scenes as well as in the forefront working with all sort of clients. At this point, there is no industry or phase of a project that Erin isn’t familiar with, which has allowed her to jump from one type of project to another. While she does not have one core focus of her career, she has excelled in being adaptable, versatile, and reliable in whatever work she is doing, aiming to provide the best option available with a budget, timeline, and aesthetic in mind.

Erin, Brett, and their son Remy now reside in East Portland with their husky, Enoki, and are enjoying the seasonal PNW lifestyle and community. In her free time, Erin can be found on toddler playdates, riding her spin bike, enjoying a cocktail or two, and spending time with her family.
