Meet INFORM’s newest Senior Project Architect; Erica U. ! Erica brings with her over 13 years of AE experience most of which was spent in Chicago before relocating back to Michigan in 2023. Erica has experience in a variety of projects ranging from residential, education, healthcare with a focus on community and non-profit work. Being involved in community and non-profit work is the reason that she wanted to be an architect. She wanted to make an impact within communities through architecture that is thoughtfully considered, strives to exceed expectations, and helps people feel like they belong. Outside of architecture, Erica likes to volunteer at the local art center and try new artistic endeavours like pottery making, painting and knitting. She also loves to get outside and enjoys activities like hiking and biking and finding the best and biggest waterfalls on her travels with her husband and corgi, Cora.

INFORM Studio is currently working with the Detroit Housing Commission and Ginosko Development Company to redevelop Villages of Parkside, an affordable housing development on the north side of Detroit, as a new residential community with a broad mix of housing options across several affordable income ranges. The project will be located on the existing site, and on an adjacent 19 acre lot at Conner & Frankfort in the Chandler Park neighborhood. The project seeks to give residents higher quality homes that will better meet their needs. We held the first community meeting in September where community members and residents actively shared their ideas while envisioning the future of their community. At Inform, we're committed to ensuring every idea matters and every voice is truly heard. We’re thrilled to be a part of this significant redevelopment for the community!
