Erica Islas is the founder and principal designer at EMI Interior Design, Inc., a full service interior design & build firm in Los Angeles, started in 2000.

A modernist at heart, Erica’s interiors are timeless and fun.  Her incredible use of color and creative space planning is what attracts her clientele & keeps them coming back for more.  Though it's easy to spot a design by Mrs. Islas they are always infused with her clients' personalities, which bring a unique character to every space.

“Form follows function” is Erica's guiding philosophy. She approaches every project with an architectural perspective, never sacrificing usability and comfort.  Her interiors are innovative, inviting and ultimately functional.

Known for her incredible Kitchens and Bathroom renovations, challenges such as small spaces and children's rooms are welcome and embraced by Erica and her staff, as they creatively transform some of the smallest most unusable spaces to multi-functional rooms.  Erica is always committed to using sustainable materials, wherever possible.
 
Mrs. Islas has been featured on HGTV and is currently featured on HGTV's designer portfolio. She is the 2006 winner of a challenge in Dohghia's National Contest “Almost Great Moments in History” and her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Real Simple, amongst other articles.
