I’m Erin, an Experiential Designer & Creative Technologist from Glasgow; based in London. I have developed my varied expertise in interactive graphics and VFX using technology and creative coding. Currently working as an Interaction Designer at OMM Agency, London, creating multimedia applications, installations & retail activations – exploring new technologies and thinking of ways in which we as a team can create new and exciting interactions for our clients.
I obtained an upper second class BA(Hons) Interaction Design degree from The Glasgow School of Art, 2018. Working freelance and with a number of creative agencies throughout the early years of my creative career has allowed me to explore skills across multiple design disciplines and materials.

- Data Visualisation : UFO SightingsThis project takes the data from http://www.nuforc.org a very accurate data site.... The booklet is a representation of growth and (un) accuracy. Lighthearted entertainment and being able to produce this lovely hand stitched booklet was the goal. I also have a UFO sightings alarm that I created using Processing (code) which triggers an alarm whenever a data entry is added, you can see that over on my website: https://errth-designs.com/portfolio/ufo-alarm/

Within Interaction Design we learn the fundamentals of code in an accessible manner alongside visual thinking and creative problem-solving. Current projects include the process of digitisation, data visualisation, 3D form generation, contemporary narrative structures, interaction design, procedural drawing and motion graphics. The projects change year on year.
The ability to mix code and procedural thinking, with aesthetic consideration and critical awareness, allows us to create interactive virtual and physical artefacts, and gives us access to the exciting and innovative world of digital art and design.
