Erin Douglas is—a storyteller, visual artist, and creative strategist who sees the world through a lens of emotion, culture, and connection. Her work blends powerful imagery, immersive storytelling, and soulful strategy helping people and brands create visual and experiences that matter.

As a self-taught documentary photographer Erin’s work lives at the intersection of culture, exploration, identity, impact, and belonging. Whether photographing portraits in the streets of Mexico, building public art in the desert, or shaping brand narratives with purpose, she’s always drawn to the stories that live beneath the surface—the moments that often go unnoticed but carry the most truth. Not just capturing what something looks like— but translating how it feels.

As the founder of the Black Burner Project, Erin is the first to document and celebrate the growing presence of Black and Brown Burners at Burning Man since 2018, helping shift the cultural narrative through portraiture, personal storytelling, community building, and immersive installations. Taking her first large-scale public art piece, Black! Asé, debuting in 2022 as two 30-foot interactive photo installations and made her one of the first Black women photographers to receive an art honorarium from Burning Man Org. In 2024, Erin created The Barbershop—a traveling installation experience  focused on Black men’s mental health, expression and healing, reminding us that vulnerability, creativity, and community can co-exist in powerful ways.

Now, Erin works with brands, organizations, and individuals to bring bold ideas to life—ideas rooted in authenticity, inclusivity, and emotional resonance. She collaborates with clients to craft meaningful visual storytelling, develop community-driven campaigns, and design experiences that move people to think, feel, and take action. Erin’s approach is intuitive but intentional, guided by lived experience, deep listening, and a belief that art and strategy can build culture, not just content.

At her core, she is a quiet observer, a deep thinker, and someone who’s not afraid to dream big and build brave. Erin believes storytelling is a tool for healing, representation is a form of resistance, and creativity can be a bridge to everything we’re searching for.
