About Me!

Hi, I’m Erika, a passionate motion designer, photographer, and visual storyteller currently pursuing a BFA in Design with a concentration in motion graphics at California State University, San Bernardino. My work blends creativity and technical skill, whether through dynamic kinetic typography, engaging video editing, thoughtful graphic design, or expressive photography. I find inspiration in music, personal experiences, and the world around me, using visuals to tell compelling stories that connect with audiences. Beyond my studies, I document my creative journey on Erika’s Progress, my YouTube channel, where I share insights and projects to inspire fellow artists.
