Erica McPhee graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude from the University of New Hampshire in 1991. She worked as a sr. human resource analyst before leaving the corporate world to start her own lettering and design business at home while raising her children. While her design work rapidly gained favor amongst celebrities and high society for elaborate hand-lettered invitations and social correspondence, at the same time her young son was diagnosed with autism. This began a life-changing journey which led her to study homeopathy after her son's dramatic recovery using a homeopathic remedy.
