Hello this is Erika!!!

If you've made it this far… Thank you.

I really like designing, but for some reason, designing a portfolio has proved to be one of the most difficult things I've had to do... Like ever. How am I supposed say everything about my identity on a single page?

Which is why I guess I made a secret page. Like an easter egg I suppose.

I wanted to talk about some fun random stuff about me

Pinterest is my most used app, more than doomscrolling, youtube, or taco bell. I use it everyday and my phone says that I have about 25 opens on it per day. I'm literally opening and using Pinterest more times than hours in a day.

I don't think I peaked in highschool, but I probably did peak in Minecraft at 14. During quarantine I played for hours everyday back then. I might not be the best at 9th grade biology, but I can at least butterfly click 24 CPS.

Fun fact: I met my entire hometown friend group through our quarantine Minecraft server we played on every night.

My parents sell Pokemon, Yugioh, and Sports trading cards as a living. Growing up, I would tell people that and they would think that I was trolling them, but just because its not on Linkedin doesn't mean it's not my reality. I feel like pre 2016, it wasn't that cool to like Pokemon or TCG—actually it was pretty lame for a while, but thanks Pokemon Go and maybe Logan Paul, I can say that I am officially cool.

Do you know what else happened in 2016? I met Steph Curry in Starbucks. Here's a photo.

We're best friends now.

I used to do dance for a while, until I got a pretty severe back injury that I now have a disability for. Yeah, that kind of sucked.

I think I'm a really logical person, but I'm still pretty spiritual. I love thinking about things like energies, chakras, universes, and fate—even if they don't really make that much sense, I kind of just like believing in it. I think it reminds me that even when my life is hard, if I just put good into the world, it'll find it's way back into my life.

That's pretty all there is to know about me: minecraft, pokemon nepo, back injury, and energies.

Jokes aside, I hope we talk and learn more interesting things about each other :D
