Meet Erica, our New PM Studio Manager!

Stop by 3rd Ward and you might meet a new face at the front desk. Meet Erica Eudoxie, your new go-to gal whether you're here as a Member, student, event guest, or whatever. Say hi when you meet her and learn more about what makes this Brooklyn-native tick below.

What did you do before 3rd Ward? 

I spent two years at an ad agency working as a production coordinator, followed by a semester of school to finish my undergrad, followed by a couple months of in depth existential contemplation!

What drew you here?

Unadulterated, unfiltered, unedited, and uncensored self expression. I feel like the role of art is to inspire reflection, shock, horror, and awe, and I believe 3rd Ward is a wonderful playground for this. Selfishly, I love being surrounded by artists; they infuse the air with a stimulating energy. It's invigorating and addictive!

What are you most excited about here?

I'm excited to get to know all the artisans here, to begin creating my own projects, and to be a part of such an amazing creative community in my hometown of Brooklyn.

What's been your biggest surprise since starting? 

The immense amount of resources and services available here and that it's supported by such a tight team. It's equal parts cool and astounding. 

How would you characterize the people you've met while working here? 

The common thread is that they're all creators...they are folks who feel compelled to fill empty, vacant spaces with something of their own invention.

What do you do for fun outside of work? 

I love films, film writing, and passionate discussions about character. I'm often singing and strumming along to the few chords I know on the guitar. Dancing is my therapy. I love any excuse to eat. And I really enjoy going out to support the work of my arty friends. Street art rules and it's fun discovering new pieces. Also...Hi, my name is Erica, and I'm addicted to playing Minesweeper on my iPhone.

Someone comes to the front desk. They have an urgent request. What's the best way to butter you up? 

A smile goes a long way, you'll always get one in return ;]
