I’m Erica, the Director of Creative Design at Nutraplanet, and I bring over a decade of experience in graphic design and color theory to the table.
My journey has been marked by significant projects, including designing the Nutraplanet Gazette and creating impactful murals in local schools.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design with a minor in Graphic Design from East Carolina University. In my role, I focus on making the Gazette not just informative but also a fun and engaging experience for students.
My personal interests in coloring, abstract art, and blending various design elements play a crucial role in my creative process, allowing me to create designs that truly resonate with the youthful and dynamic audience of Nutraplanet.
