WHO IS GUEZADILLA?
It’s Me, Erica!
Imagine if a cartoon came to real life and suddenly got serious about their craft, that's me. Co-workers and clients alike have described me as having the keen intellect of a graphic designer but the whimsy of a fine artist — which makes sense I graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from CSU Long Beach and have a minor in Fine Arts. With over 8 years of experience in the design field I’ve approached it with a sharp wit and never-ending curiosity.
When I’m not making rad work I’m watching cult horror films (fun fact I’ve seen 250+ zombie films), going to concerts, taking hikes, or hanging out with my cats.
At My Heart I’m a Nerd
... And like all nerds I have an insatiably thirst for learning and teaching others what I’ve learned. Whether by attending conferences (like Creative Works West 2024) or watching hours of YouTube tutorials I’ve made sure to keep up with the times since graduating.

I’m sorry, I said I have cats, here’s cat tax.
Working with me means more cat pics where that came from! The orange one is our sweet baby angel Hobbs and the black cat is our perfect son George A Cat Romero.
