ERICA TAYLOR HASKINS ​is a co-founder of New York City-based event production company ​Tinsel Experiential Design​.

Tinsel redefines the event landscape through the execution of imaginative, immersive experiences for private clients and brands like Mercedes-Benz, Spotify, and L’Oreal. Tinsel has produced events at iconic institutions like The New York Public Library, The Guggenheim Museum, The Rainbow Room, and One World Observatory. The team’s work has been featured in Vogue, WWD, and Forbes, with the company named by BizBash as a Top 50 Event Designer in North America and by Harper’s Bazaar as a Top Event Designer in the World.

Before Tinsel, Erica worked in account management and business development on advertising agency teams across consumer, technology, and media verticals. Erica’s expertise lies in her ability to manage teams throughout the project lifecycle and her deep understanding of how to leverage authentic relationships to reach target audiences. She brings an intimate knowledge of the creative process, a practiced degree of diplomacy, grace under fire, and an instinct for mutually beneficial business partnerships to Tinsel.

Beyond Tinsel, Erica is committed to sharing her business journey with other aspiring entrepreneurs, especially women and people of color. She is also extremely passionate about her involvement as an alum of The Jackie Robinson Foundation, attending Broadway shows, enjoying naptime with her french bulldog (Mayhem, May for short), writing to Congress — as well as travel to soak in blue waters, blue skies, red meat, and red wine.
