Erik works as a Community Engagement Intern at UAS, where he enjoys supporting artists and spreading the love of art throughout the Columbus community.

Throughout his college life, Erik has been interested in graffiti, studying the techniques, terms, culture, and history. He says that there is a lack of study concerning the art form and would like to pioneer what he hopes to be a respectful understanding between graffiti and the public. Erik recommends pursuing what you find passion in, instead of worrying about money. Your most valuable resource is happiness.
