Pantone Spring/Summer 2025 Color Trends from New York Fashion Week. I'm feeling a little bit of déja vu here. It's giving early 2000s, am I right? Remember when everything was brown and green? I'm not mad at it! I pulled out some of my favorite color combos. I'm particularly feeling the creamy futuristic pastels paired with browns/neutrals ... it's giving a pop of color under a trench coat. 

I'm thrilled to share my 2020 holiday collection of photo cards for MPIX. Lots of florals this year. I'm IN LOVE with MPIX foil cards. If you're into foil, MPIX is for you. I also love that they make any of my cards into holiday magnet photo cards, too. So fun!

I'm thrilled to share my holiday photo card collection with Minted. Each design is available in a few different sizes and formats, so it will work with horizontal or vertical photos. Of course all text is editable, and each design is available in lots of different colors. Matching envelopes, envelope liners, and envelope stickers are also available. Minted cards are so luxe -- the paper and printing are the best in the biz.

I was thrilled to design a re-brand for Abercrombie Jewelry, a family jeweler based in Austin, Texas. I had originally designed their logo more than 10 years ago and it was time for a refresh. 

I started with a mood board (you can see it here) and an updated color palette, focusing on luxe yet unusual colors. 

I have this thing with Christmas ornaments. And by "this thing" I mean I loooooooooooooove them. I have boxes and boxes and boxes. And more boxes. My favorites are the personalized ones. I always hang those in the best spots on the front of the tree, eye level. 

I've designed some customizable Christmas ornaments for my amazing partners: Simply to Impress and MPIX. Sources for each design:

ONE / TWO / THREE / FOUR / FIVE / SIX / SEVEN / EIGHT / NINE / TEN / ELEVEN / TWELVE / THIRTEEN

Based on what I'm seeing trending out in the fashion and home décor world, I'm predicting Marigold, Cerulean, or Illuminating as the 2021 Color of the Year. I think a lot depends on the health of our nation and how the COVID-19 pandemic plays out. If a vaccine (and a comprehensive strategy for distributing it) is in place, I think a bright, fresh hopeful color will be in order as the Pantone Color of the Year 2021. But we'll just have to wait and see.

My newest collection, Monstera Leaf Plants on Pink, channels my inner Southerner. Pink + Green = Happiness. Who knew? 

Now is the perfect time to pick up a pen and send a little note to a loved one ... and you can help Save the USPS in the process. Greeting cards are one of my favorite things to design -- they're little pieces of love you can send through the mail! I've rounded up some of my favorites.

Cards 1 - 5: Erika Firm x Postable

Cards 6 - 8: Erika Firm x Minted

Cards 9 -11: Erika Firm x Revel & Co.

If you're worried about the state of the USPS like I am, head over to Postable and send your rep a note about it. They make it super easy -- all the addresses are in their system. All $ goes to the Post Office! 

My newest collection, Leopard Spots, features an animal print straight out of my imagination: cobalt blue, olive green, and sienna brown gouache painted big cat spots. I firmly believe that animal prints are neutrals -- they go with anything and everything. Products include drinkware, tea towels, tote bags, yoga mats, phone cases, and gifts.
