Erika Finnegan

I bring a wealth of experience.

As a UI + Product designer for Stages LLC, I developed the branding, social presence and UI for App and Web. I’ve also worked at advertising agencies like MME, Jack Morton, Fathom and Chandelier Creative. I’ve designed marketing assets, visual displays, packaging, logos, and more for household names like Sony, Moët & Chandon, Hennessy, Verizon, and Optimum. As Creative Director for digital retail sites Layla Grayce and Zinc Door, I churned out effective newsletters, social media, checkout page, and mobile e-commerce site designs.



I bring passion.

A passion for typography, because I can’t imagine a world without type. Proper typography can make or break the design, don’t you agree? I have a knack for producing functional, beautiful layouts that communicates a memorable, compelling brand message. Like an interior designer selecting furniture and paint colors, transforming a blank space into something special through use of typography and layout is something that absolutely thrills me.



I bring an eagerness to learn and grow.

I may have graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2007, but I have never stopped learning and challenging myself. I spend my free time at seminars or design meet-ups in the city. I’m eternally optimistic, positive, open to ideas, and, because I believe design should be fun, try to have a fabulous sense of humor to boot.



On a personal note....I'm in love with my dog Butters, love spending my free time checking out live music and I'm pretty sure I have an obsession with spinning.
