Hey there! Hi there! Hello!

Just as a friendly greeting initiates a connection, invites conversation, and opens doors, my mission is to design engaging content that sparks a dialogue between you and your audience.

Howdy, partner!

I’m Erica Brooks (she/her), a content designer, art director, and conversationalist. Content that tells a story and engages the audience is my jam. I geek out over page layouts, pitch decks, and infographics, and I dig details like efficient processes, clean files, and understanding the lifecycle and business goals of a marketing piece. “You ask the best questions,” clients tell me. For that, I credit my journalism degree and the time I spent reporting for my hometown newspaper. Plus, I’m always eager to expand my horizons and better understand the world around me.

Get to Know Erica
Erica Brooks - Hello Creative
I seek opportunities to collaborate with clients, vendors, and audiences who value and celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion in their practices.

Your message deserves design that sparks a conversation.

Page layout & design

Whether it’s an annual report, an e-book, or an in-depth brochure, document design is where I thrive. I’ll help you weave your message across multiple pages, engaging your audience with compelling content.

Pitch Decks & presentations

Let me bring your words to life in your next investor pitch deck, internal company presentation, or proposal leave-behind. No gimmicky animations, just a polished presentation you can proudly share.

Design Process & Efficiency

I’ll work with you to identify snags in your team’s current workflow, establish more efficient processes, and create new document templates, all with the goal of saving your team time and avoiding headaches.

"Working with Erica Brooks means partnering with a true collaborator. I could come to her with a basic outline and a few very general visual ideas, and then we would talk through concepts until we found a good match. Very often, her first draft was spot on. If not, she was quick and prompt with edits. She had a solid understanding of our brand, voice, and communication restrictions. She's also very personable and I truly enjoyed our conversations. I have recommended her work to multiple colleagues."

"Erica was instrumental in helping our team reposition and redesign our sales pitch decks to really showcase the benefits of our product. She's an absolute dream to work with. Detail oriented, strategically focused, all with an amazing skill in design. The final product was far above anything I could have imagined.
