Thank you for taking some time to learn about how Sandbar Design Studio came about! My name is Erica and I knew from a very young age that architectural design was a passion of mine. My desire to turn my passion into a career led to the study of architecture at the University of Miami followed by a career with residential and commercial firms in the Chicago area and the Florida Keys.
I have called the Florida Keys home for almost ten years and share a cozy home with my son on Big Pine Key. As an active member of the community, I have served as a mentor in the Take Stock in Children program at Marathon High School and am currently a board member and secretary of FIRM (Fair Insurance Rates in Monroe) and a board member of the Florida Keys Contractors Association and the Florida Keys Community Land Trust. Having worked in Monroe County for over a decade, I have an extensive knowledge of the building codes we are all subject to, from wind loading to designing in a floodplain.
I look forward to sharing my high energy, passion and design expertise with you on your next project!
