Erika Cross Studio

Professional Background

Motivated by the desire to elevate ordinary objects and familiar forms into unexpected delights, Erika investigates the relationships between object, scale, and user. Her aesthetic fuses sculptural forms with utilitarian functionality. Working at the intersection of product and process, she has a hands-on approach to design. The workshop becomes the source and site of her creative energy; both library and laboratory. Using research, intuition, experience, and experiment, erika purposefully challenges limitations to develop innovative methods and objects.

Internationally trained, Erika holds a master’s degree in Design Products from the Royal College of Art in London; bachelor of fine art in Art and Design from the University of Michigan, and a bachelor of science in Interior Design from Eastern Michigan University.
