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
