hi there. i’m erin.
I’m a UX writer (content designer) who loves designing words and digital products that are easy to understand and accessible to all. My goal: to help people get things done quickly and easily. I’ve supported healthcare, health insurance, fitness, utilities, and most recently, cybersecurity.
I live in Minneapolis with my husband, our toddler, and two vizslas. I used to race IRONMAN triathlon (8x! Kona!), but you can now find me running, biking, or swinging kettlebells. I’m also solar powered and love spending time outside. My favorite place in the world is Kauai’s north shore.
what i do
-
UX writing + content design
Writing clear, accessible language for a seamless user experience. Organizing end-to-end flows so they make sense.
-
guidelines + design systems
Creating patterns, conventions, and standards that are easy for teams to follow and implement.
-
editing + simplifying
Cutting through all the extra so it’s thoughtful, but straightforward.
