Hello!
I’m Erin, a design and organization aficionado living in Amsterdam.
I’ve always loved making improvements to my surroundings. When I was younger I got a kick out of reorganizing my closet and rearranging my bedroom furniture. I would spend my allowance on paint for my bedroom walls (whether or not it was an improvement is up for debate)! When The Container Store opened up just a few blocks away from my childhood apartment, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
It wasn’t until I arrived at college that I realized my love of improving my surroundings was something unique. Growing up in New York City with limited space was a fun challenge and it equipped me well for dorm-room living.
I’ve taken this passion for organizing, spatial planning and interior design and turned it into Placed by Erin. Whether I’m helping a client declutter and redesign their home or partnering with an architect on an office layout, my mission remains the same: to understand how people use their space and to help them get the most out of it in a way that’s functional and beautiful.
When I’m not designing, I’m listening to true crime podcasts, drinking cold brew, attempting to read more, making or eating dumplings, trying to convince animals to let me pet them, and daydreaming about future travel plans.
In 2018, I moved from New York City to Amsterdam. Placed by Erin continues across the pond!
