About Ericka
Ericka Howill is a designer and visual storyteller known for creating deeply personal interiors that marry refined aesthetics with emotional depth. Her work resists trend and pretension—favoring spaces that feel artful, intimate, and unmistakably human.
Ericka came to interiors with a background in business—but it’s her artistic eye and passion for historic, global design that shape her work. Her approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and highly detailed, balancing form and function with a focus on nuanced design moments that resonate long after the first impression. Clients are drawn to her ability to bring clarity to the design process, and to translate their lives into spaces that feel both elevated and emotionally grounded.
The firm is known for its curatorial approach—blending historically significant antiques with contemporary works from a global network of independent artists and master craftspeople. Through custom commissions and rare finds, each project is shaped by its architectural context and the lives of those who will inhabit it, resulting in interiors that are personal, layered, and entirely singular. Current projects range from modern city bel étage apartments to sprawling countryside retreats.
Ericka is based in Kansas City with her husband and their miniature poodle (and occasional design assistant), Abe. Personal sketches and journal notes shared throughout this site offer a glimpse into the creative thinking that shapes her work.
