We had the good fortune of connecting with Erecia Williams and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erecia, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success is having a good work ethic and being committed to serving my clients.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
My art is to problem solve through creative design solutions for clients. I am most proud of my 20 plus years of designing for clients in various industries such as music labels, corporate businesses, banks and nonprofit organizations. I started my interest in design at the age of 15 by being inspired to create websites for music artist like Brandy. During that time, I learned how to code by purchasing books at the bookstore and purchasing Website Design tutorial magazines. The lessons I’ve learned along the way includes having the drive and consistency to get the job done, learning how to put the customer needs first, and the important of professional partnership.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would first take my friend to The Edge NYC, the highest outdoor sky deck that is 100 stories high with glass floors overlooking the city. We would then dine at one of my favorite restaurant Beyond Sushi a vegan restaurant in NYC. Some of the most interesting places to check out would be US Open, Soccer matches, Broadway shows, Art Galleries and sight seeing throughout the city.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would have to give a shoutout to my good friend Michael Dozier from ChlNonprofits.com. He has been inspirational and an excellent partner in helping me to achieve my financial goals for my business.
