Erika joined Tidy Up Portland in 2021 and has been keeping things sharp ever since—literally, as she recently picked up welding as a hobby. When she’s not working with us or practicing her sparks and seams, Erika is hanging out with her cat, Taxidermy Girl—a name inspired by a tragically unflattering humane society photo. Thankfully, Taxi (or Mrs. Churtles / Mrs. Pickle, depending on the mood) has grown into her charm, but the name stuck. Erika brings a friendly, creative energy to the team, with a touch of metal and mischief!
