EVERYBODY LOVES EVERYBODY

Meet the Founder
ABOUT ERIKA
I am a fashion and costume designer, a lover of food, and a traveler who has always believed that the world is meant to be explored slowly.
​
I have always wanted to know how things are made, how a garment comes together, how a recipe carries history, how a place shapes the people who call it home. That curiosity led me to study fashion design and theatre, and eventually to pack up my sewing machine and sail the sea aboard a cruise ship.
​
Moving between ports and people, I understood something clearly: culture lives in the food we share, the clothes we wear, and the art we create. Community is not accidental. It is built — intentionally, kindly, curiously.
​
Some people spend their lives inside a single version of the world. I have always wanted more than that. I wanted to build a home that welcomes difference, celebrates story, and makes room for anyone willing to learn.
​
Everybody Loves Everybody is that home.
Why ELE Exist
Everybody Loves Everybody exists to create a welcoming space for learning, curiosity, and connection.
​
It’s a place where people can learn sewing without intimidation, explore culture with respect, and feel seen regardless of background or body.
​
This isn’t about perfection or expertise — it’s about understanding, sharing, and growing together.
