Welcome to Beyond the Blueprint

Beyond the Blueprint is where I share the stories that shape my life, my faith, and my design philosophy. From motherhood to project milestones, this journal goes deeper than design to reflect the legacy we're building—one meaningful moment at a time.

HI,
I'M ERIKA.

Beyond the Blueprint is a curated journal where legacy, lifestyle, and intentional design converge.

Here, I share stories from the heart of my home and the homes I create—faith-filled reflections, family rhythms, wellness practices, and design inspiration rooted in grace and purpose.

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.

Whether you're here to be inspired, encouraged, or aligned, welcome. This is life beyond the blueprint
