After receiving a BFA with honors in Communication Design and Photography at Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Design, Erin felt the need to connect with her artistic self on a more tactile level. This intuitive shift led her to pursue an MFA in Textiles from The Rhode Island School of Design. Erin graduated from RISD and worked as a textile designer and accessories designer in Massachusetts until a move brought her to NYC with her future husband, Mickey Mayo. In NYC, Erin found herself taking on projects in interior styling and discovered an exciting new avenue of creative expression. Still, she was looking for an opportunity for personal artistic expression and discovered the world of pottery. She found ceramics to be the continuation of her intuitive journey as a creator. What began as the making of functional ceramic pieces turned into the creation of more expressive, sculptural objects.

Erin lives in NYC with her husband, their two creative kids, and their dog.
