Born a second-generation geek in the wilds of Fiint, MI, Erica rose to fame during the early web as the Librarian Avenger, righting wrongs and championing sensible interfaces for digital collections.

She lives in Ithaca, NY and is the lead user experience geek for animalrecordings.com, the world's largest collection of animal sounds and video. She likes to waltz, foxtrot, and hustle.

Her favorite book is Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis.
