“Working with Erin as an advisor has been great. She has a sharp understanding of the structure within my small business and offers valuable insights to help me evolve creatively. Beyond that, her knowledge of trends and her ability to connect me with the right people for my brand have been incredibly impactful. Most importantly, Erin brings a sense of energy and confidence that has strengthened my belief in my creative process.”
- Gustaf Westman, furniture & home goods designer
“Working with Erin was like finding the missing rhythm to my creative flow. She helped me see that organization and strategy are not constraints but the wings that let creativity take flight. Through her guidance, I learned how to untangle my ideas, find focus, and transform my artistry into a sustainable journey. Erin showed me the beauty of balance—how to nurture multiple streams of income without losing the essence of who I am, and how to expand my audience while staying true to my voice as a multi-hyphenated creative. And now, as both a mentor and a friend, Erin is a testament to the power of creativity, connection, and unwavering support.”
- Brittany Byrd, multi-hyphenate creative
“I have been working on launching my brand for some time but it wasn’t until I started working with Erin that I felt like I had a roadmap and the support to move forward full speed ahead. She has helped me get completely organized and clear. The ideas she brings to the table are also always so helpful. Erin is also kind and compassionate which also makes working with her a true pleasure. I have been meeting with her weekly and it is one of my favorite parts of my week because her experience and skillset and generosity in spirit really grounds me in this process. Her out-of-session text support has also been so beneficial when needing advice on how to move forward in tricky situations.”
- Manon Macasaet, founder of Poison Candy Apple NYC & multi-hyphenate creative
“Erin has equipped me with skills that I will be able to use forever. She provided a different perspective on my approach to entertainment media and helped me align my values with my work. Her guidance and advising is exactly what I needed at this point in my career. Working with her has been life-saving!”
- Jared Muros, content creator & fashion journalist
“Erin has been one of the biggest factors contributing to the success of my brand. She discovered me on Instagram when I first started making clothes out of my apartment and really saw the potential in what my brand could be before even I did. In less than 3 years, using her past fashion industry experience, she’s helped me break into some of the largest global luxury retailers, guided me through brand partnerships such as Disney, Cash App, Swarovski, Sanrio and Melissa Shoes, and has helped me develop brand relationships with some of the biggest celebrities. Starting a brand with no upfront funding seems impossible, but she was able to help me figure out a cashflow stream combining DTC and wholesale that funded the development of the brand without any big loans or investments. Whether it’s a new product or event experience, she never has a shortage of new and brilliant ideas. She is always plugged into what is relevant to people today which is so important when you are working to create authentic experiences with consumers. It’s really fun working with her because her ultimate goal is to create cool things and make people feel something, which I think we’ve been able to do together.”
- Marshall Columbia, fashion designer
“Erin Jeen is simply a master at what she does. Being a full-time artist, creating is my number one priority and naturally, I fall short on the organization and strategy side of it all. Erin came in and identified all the weak ends and gave structure to my whole operation. It is apparent how intuitive it is for her to level up a creator, from creating media kits that will be picked up by relevant brands, and finding opportunity in places where I would never have imagined. She’s a natural and feels like a friend that also knows exactly what she’s talking about.”
- Emma Orhun, content creator & creative technologist
“Working with Erin is an investment in yourself. Erin was instrumental in helping our team rebrand and relaunch our company following the pandemic. We had spent years attempting to craft a dynamic pitch deck to relaunch our brand, but had grown stagnant in our process, and had not been able to complete a quality pitch deck. Erin's straight to the point, no frills approach whipped us into shape and provided us the guidance and expertise to not only complete our pitch deck, but help us earn thousands in sponsorship for our event. On a more personal level, Erin's support and dedication to her clients instills a sense of self-belief in you that is hard to come by alone. Erin has a unique ability to offer actionable advice that never feels condescended but challenges clients to think critically about their work. We are fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Erin, and are continuing to reap the value of that investment to this day.”
- Max Gibson, founder of media, events & production powerhouse Wine & Bowties
“Erin has insights on bringing creativity to the world that can only be gained from a tremendous experience. Applying her expertise has allowed me to speed-run growth, skip unnecessary experimentation, and focus my energy on my creative vision."
- Danny Cole, fine artist & founder of Creature World
"Erin always tackled & attacked whatever I needed, whether it was something I noticed or not. She helped me implement self-discipline practices in ways I could understand and that would work for me. She’s helped me build better habits while naturally destroying the ones that didn’t work for me. She’s provided the clarity I’ve needed this crazy world! She’s super unapologetic in her delivery and has told me the things I needed to hear. We unpacked the goals I created for myself and she pushed me in directions I hadn’t considered and provided much-needed motivational support."
- Odalys Pena, DJ & musician
“As an independent designer, working with Erin was very helpful in structuring my business, and seeing the bigger picture when planning product releases. She also had great input on expanding the brand’s product categories and social media strategies. “
- Tom Bogo, fashion designer
“Over the course of just a few meetings, Erin helped me focus on next steps for my studio and offered insightful suggestions on how to sustainably grow. She encouraged me to value my work and self at a higher rate and offered negotiation tactics that I have successfully implemented in projects and brand deals. Erin’s experience in marketing and brand support comes through in every conversation and she pushed me to hone in on what is successful in my brand, and to trim the aspects that don’t work or serve me.”
- Sophie Colle, furniture designer
“Running a business is often overwhelming and especially difficult to manage while growing. Erin really helps me stay organized and focused on what’s important. I also believe her connections and industry knowledge help ensure new opportunities and ideas I wouldn’t have had prior.”
- Mike Ruiz Serra, furniture & objects designer
“Erin is a veteran brand and business builder in the fashion space. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale, Erin’s insights, experience, and connections within the industry are incredibly valuable. Erin helped make intros and gave me feedback during my early days of ideating a new brand, and her insights helped me tighten and refine the concept and put me in a strong place to go build. She’s also encouraging, kind, and a wonderful cheerleader along the way. She’s an incredible partner who will strengthen you and help you build!”
- Liang Shi, Founder of Subtitle
“Working with Erin has been fucking amazing because she’s helped me compartmentalize my ideas, allowing me to flourish. She is a creative mastermind! She helped me negotiate 3x for a brand deal because she understands the company-side of things but chooses to advocate for the independent creative. Her role as an Advisor is so needed in this industry and she is what every Creative needs in their life.”
