Erica began sharing what she was learning about God and herself through her lettering online. Be A Heart grew as a community seeking God in the midst of every day life and an online shop where Erica sold her artwork. In this time, Erica moved to Los Angeles and started doing calligraphy and design work for other people and companies.

Be A Heart was named one of the best stationery designers in Los Angeles by Gwenyth Paltrow's Goop and had work featured in Elle Magazine.

Ultimately, Erica felt called to use her gifts to design her own products that would share hope & light and Be A Heart became what it is today. Much of her inspiration is pulled from her own spiritual life, which is rooted in her Catholic faith and traditions. However, she longs to make things that are accessible to everyone who is on their own faith journey and working towards who God has created them to be.

Be A Heart now has a team of five women in different stages of life all around the country.
