Qvin

As Qvin prepared to launch its revolutionary Q-Pad™, the women’s health technology startup needed a brand that could balance scientific credibility with a bold, female-forward perspective. Developed by co-founder Dr. Sara Naseri, the FDA-cleared Q-Pad collects menstrual blood for laboratory analysis, creating new possibilities for monitoring and detecting a range of health conditions. As Qvin expanded into a broader diagnostics and research platform, we refreshed the identity and website to support its growing work with researchers, healthcare providers, and global partners. The result transforms menstrual blood from a source of stigma into a powerful source of health information.

FROM WOMEN FOUNDERS

"I came to Erika thinking maybe I needed a website, and that's it. But through the strategy sessions, branding, website and materials designs,  I realized I needed so much more. It wasn't just the pieces Erika created for me, it was having an ally who could help me through the process of starting something totally new on my own. I couldn't have done this without her helping me find my voice."

Dr. Andrea Matsumura, Sleep Physician

"Erika helped me determine my WHY, worked with me to develop a cohesive plan, got me to focus on my ideal customer; my vision grew from there and she created a design that was perfect for me and aligned with my goals."

Monica Shulman, Artist

"Traveling with the Élanoura Founder Retreat was truly a life changing experience. The trip from start to finish was curated so beautifully, from the moment we got there. Wow! This trip has opened up my eyes to world travel, to the importance of connection with other woman in a way I never knew was possible. Seeing life beyond the walls of the small town I live in and the experiences I’ve had in my life so far… I want more! Morocco was literally a DREAM come true. Thank you Erika for curating this magical experience, I am flooded with gratitude."

Emily Mughannam, Fletcher Rhodes Interior Design

"As a one-person marketing team in a start-up, Erika is not only a sophisticated brand, graphic, and UX designer, but she’s also my sidekick marketing strategist, brainstorm partner, and social media adviser. She brings creativity, insight, and a positive outlook to every project, and her ability to translate ideas into compelling visuals is unmatched. On top of all that, she’s such a thoughtful, lovely person to work with. I'm so lucky to have her on my side!"

Leah Morgan, Head of Marketing, Qvin

"Erika works truly like a partner in the process of strategically thinking about a brand and its vision. When I work with her I feel like I am in the presence of a caring professor in marketing walking me through every step. I am always blown away by her wisdom, expertise, and genuine care for me to succeed as a woman business leader which is why I do sincerely see her as a partner. She is also so professional and reliable, which goes a long way for me! Erika is my go-to person for every project or idea I have had since 2009, there's no one like her!"

Jennet Chow, Jellypop Shoes & Evolution Design Lab

"In the past six months, I have invested in countless online classes and programs. The Branding Masterclass was quite simply the most effective experience I have had – and that is exactly why: because it is an experience. This class is not simply a tool; it reaches far beyond strategies and tactics (which of course are phenomenal with an expert leader like Erika). Erika, I can’t thank you enough for the energy and wisdom you are sharing – you are literally changing lives."

Maris D., Columbus OH

"Erika’s extremely organized and meticulous approach to learning about us and our brand on a small to large scale has been a wonderful and organic experience. She really took the time to understand who we are on a personal and brand level. She never rushed the process but provided guidance, support and clarity when we needed it the most. We couldn’t be happier!"

Seda Bilginer & Amanda Sichon, Esas Beauty

"I went on this trip thinking it was a business trip with the hope of maybe making at least one friend, but what actually ended up happening was I met 9 lifelong friends that I happened to discuss business with. I will be forever grateful to Erika as she curated a group that included such diverse women whom all I could relate to in one way or another and I look forward to watching them all grow and succeed not only in business but their personal life. Anyone would be crazy NOT to attend something Erika puts together."
