Erika wants to live in a world where people entertain MORE! Whether that’s getting family together for an intimate dinner or activating gala guests to fundraise for a good cause, she believes organic personal connection has the power to change the world and her mission is to create spaces and experiences that help make that happen.
EJP Lifestyle was born from a genuine love of bringing people together for happy times, by definition meaning: oozing with JOY and overflowing with CONNECTION.
With an advanced education in visual arts, plus a storied personal background in music, dance, stage, and production, each event becomes a canvas for Erika to use her fresh, eclectic, and distinctive artistic eye to create seamlessly executed experiences. Like works of art, every event is different. That's why Erika is passionate about helping you create an experience you’ll love where your own unique personality can SHINE.
A fanatically fun spirit, quick wit, sharp attention to detail, and many years of experience make Erika the go-to for all of your event design needs. If it’s not clear by now: experiential art, curating community, elevating experiences, it’s what she does best.
See for yourself and let us help you create memorable experiences, captivating conversations, and shareable moments.
“Erika brought this event idea in my head of walking out of Chicago 2019 and into Chicago 1920 to life! More than that, she carried me through each planning moment with LOVE!
She is far beyond an event designer, she’s a friend, she’s a sister, and I thank her for making my event what it was - EPIC!”
