A director at 3north, Erin established the firm’s Residential Studio, where she leads a five-member team. Erin’s design sensibility was shaped by her childhood in Asia followed by undergraduate study in both Europe and the UK. After graduating cum laude from Virginia Tech, Erin chose to put down roots in Virginia. Her passion for residential design emerged in Fredericksburg, where she worked for a sole-proprietor, and flourished in Richmond when she joined 3north in 2007.

At 3north, she has embraced notable historic restorations of Bottomley, Duncan Lee, and Baskervill residences, along with the current renovation and landscape transformation of the Rice house, a mid-century modern landmark, by Richard Neutra. With over one hundred residential projects to her credit, Erin’s award-winning work ranges in scale from estate master plans to casework details. With her energetic and thoughtful approach, Erin helps clients articulate their true needs, dreams, and desires to create spaces that celebrate the way they live. Erin’s work extends to non-residential projects including restorations to St. John’s Church, a Historical survey of Dinwiddie County, and Master Plan studies of Nauvoo, Illinois.

Throughout her career, Erin has been engaged in student mentorship and community service. In 2012, the AIA Richmond honored Erin with the inaugural Richard L. Ford, Jr. FAIA Award for her personal contributions as co-chair of the Young Architect and Intern Forum (YAiF), which provides networking and mentorship programs for emerging design professionals. In 2013, she led an Explore Design Seminar on modular design as part of a larger program for high school students sponsored by Baskervill Architects. At the 2017, Full STEAM Ahead Conference by CodeVA, she presented two classes designed to educate young women about the fields of architecture and landscape architecture. A longtime facilitator of 3north’s summer high school intern program, Erin has also spearheaded 3north’s fundraiser to support local families during the holidays and led the firm’s Canstruction team to raise funds for the Central Virginia Foodbank.
