Erika Ladanyi
Thoughtful Solutions
Erika does it all: branding, marketing, advertising, 2-D, 3-D, direct mail, event marketing, electronic, print… Nonprofits or for-profits... any industry and every type of budget and timetable. Her specialties are high-end markets, corporate ID and branding, and publications of all sorts, including annual reports.
Combining problem-solving skills and active listening with design thinking, Erika delivers thoughtful, considered solutions to her clients. But she also keeps the end user in mind. Even before user experience became a household term, her designs were clean and easy to use.
Erika has been drawing since she could hold a crayon. So no one was surprised when she wanted to become a designer. Erika got her degree in graphic design from Moore College of Art and Design, graduating cum laude from what was then the nation's highest accredited design program.
Her first job after college was designing a media kit for the New York Post. Her second was as a designer for investment firm D.E. Shaw & Co. She is currently the Associate Design Director of Branding & Marketing at UJA-Federation of New York, the world's largest local philanthropy. Variety being the spice of life, Erika is always open to new industries, products, and channels of communication.
