Erica Mays


Hello there! Born in Atlanta, Georgia and a native of Maryland since 1999, I currently operate out of my home studio just outside of Washington, DC.

I have been designing since 2008, my passion for the field starting when I was a child, making clumsy geocities websites, metallic logos, and livejournal icons. Though my designs from the 90’s are now a source of comic relief, my interest in the field of design never waned. I went to school for my BFA in Graphic Design at the Maryland Institute College of Art, with a concentration in Book Arts. While I started out as a jack-of-all-trades, I have grown to specialize in strong brands and websites that drive profits and keep the user’s needs in mind.

With a solid background in art, technology, and user experience, I can deliver complete business-building packages. Whether you need to re-launch your product completely, give it an edge to boost yourself over your competition, or are starting from scratch, I’m here to help!

I’ve got three great cats, well-loved dancing shoes, and more cookbooks than I really ought to have. When I’m not making websites, searching for design inspiration, or reading about the latest in user experience design, I like to cook, swing dance, write my fantasy epic, and read.

If you’re looking for a results-driven and educated user experience designer to come up with your next creative solution, have any questions about my design process or how I got to where I am, or just want to say hi, drop me a line at [email protected]! I would be delighted to talk about your own individual business needs.
