Hi! I’m Erika Mackley. I’m a seasoned art director and designer based in Detroit, Michigan. I breathe life into my work and thrive with concept creation and abstract thinking for various clients. I love to have my hands in many projects simultaneously to keep my creativity sparked and find energy in learning, sharing, growing, and collaborating with great people.
