I have experience designing end-to-end enterprise products, for complex platforms.

I’ve led Storage & Database product design at Cloudflare, founded one of Charlotte, NC’s most recognized event brands, and I’m a really great DJ.

I believe design touches every part of life, and I'm obsessed with exploring how.

About me

So what's going on.. in my world?

I genuinely enjoy building things that improve the lives of others. I combine empathy, technical knowledge, and creativity, to design experiences that resonate widely.
I've designed technical products for software developers globally.
I'm filling a gap in the Charlotte entertainment market, through event curation & community building.
& I DJ at some of the highest ranked Bars around the city.

Feedback That Fuels Me

What you're doing [A 704 Party] is important.

Samir Sahid

Charlotte, NC - Mayor Candidate

I had the pleasure of supervising Erin Thames for three years and four months at Cloudflare, and I can confidently say she's an exceptional product designer. Erin consistently impressed me with her collaborative spirit, sharp communication skills, and ability to thoughtfully incorporate feedback. Her peers frequently praised her for being easy to work with and for her attentiveness to detail. She's disciplined and sharp, excelling at organizing design reviews that unite different teams and lead to superior user experiences. Her detailed design documentation and adaptability to changing requirements consistently kept projects on track without compromising user experience. I always knew that every project Erin led would be in good hands. What truly struck me about Erin was her growth mindset. She never hesitated to challenge herself, proactively seeking opportunities to learn and develop. Over the years, she led high-impact A/B tests, spearheaded large-scale unification initiatives, and even represented her team and product through a public blog post and company-wide all-hands presentation. Erin is inquisitive, ambitious, and a true team player—an invaluable asset to any team. I wholeheartedly recommend her and would be thrilled to work with her again.
