Testimonials
I cannot recommend Erin enough! Not only is she super talented, but she’s responsible, timely and extremely easy to work with. I described what I wanted in one meeting and it’s like she read my mind. Her illustrations were everything I could have envisioned for my book! Thank you Erin ❤

Erin was a treat to work with during her time assisting CentreStage Theatre with its posters. She had a fun attitude and a great collaborative nature that we will always look back on with gratitude!
Mike Butler, CentreStage Theatre
I recently ordered two prints and a card from Erin’s raccoon collection and they are stunning. Printed as 8x10s, the colours are so vibrant, the lines are crisp and they are even cuter than pictured on her website. Erin was so easy to work with in customizing the prints and her turn around time was great, especially since it was during the holiday rush. Thank you Erin!!
Heather Miller, happy customer
It has been a pleasure working with Erin over the past four years. She illustrated a 50-page children’s book I wrote and published, bringing my vision to life with care and meeting all deadlines. She also designed successful home products, delivering production-ready work on schedule. Erin is talented, collaborative, and reliable, with a warm approach that makes her easy to work with. Quite simply, she’s a gem.
