This week we continue in our series that I affectionately call The DC Designers All-Star Tour. Where you get to meet the most in-demand talent and hear their untold stories from behind the scenes with some of the best designers I know in our nation's capital. Today we welcome interior designer, Erica Burns. Erica is uniquely positioned as a designer who rose from the ranks in commercial and residential construction. Originally from the Southeast, Erica graduated from the University of Florida's College of Design, Construction & Planning. She began her career in the construction industry, eventually finding her niche in residential design. Drawing on her strong understanding of the construction process, Erica is well-equipped to guide clients in selecting every detail, from plumbing fixtures and door hardware to furniture and window treatments. Her involvement throughout design and construction brings efficiency to the process and ensures that the interior elements are seamlessly integrated with the home's architecture.We chatted about her personal career path that led to the founding of her eponymous design firm, Erica Burns Interiors. With over a decade of experience turning visions into reality, Erica Burns Interiors has quickly become one of Washington, DC's leading residential design firms.Through attention to detail and thoughtful editing, Erica and her team create homes that are timeless and classic, with a touch of the unexpected.Today we dive into how her early experience in renovation and construction allowed for mutually beneficial partnerships and opportunities with DC's top architectural firms. A dynamic relationship that exponentially benefits both the design team and the homeowner. We dish on lingering client projects, the beauty of learning by doing and how she built her 7 person (and growing!) design team. I'm excited for you to meet Erica, and get inspired as we talk about launching and growing her firm and what she sees for business 5 years ahead.Mentioned in the episode:Couture Drapery | Hardware | Furniture - Gretchen EverettThomson & Cooke Architects – Custom Residential Architecture Firm in Washington DCErica Burns InteriorsWelcome to another episode of Behind the Drapery.
(May 21, 2021) In early March, the snow crunched underneath Erica Burns’s boots as she walked from the horse barn to the pasture. A white horse had dug through the snow to find some grass and was grazing. “This is Lola. She’s our oldest horse,” Burns said. “That one’s Clover. Hey, Clove!”

Transgender is becoming more understood in our culture. Or at least, it's more recognized. But that's the problem, it isn't understood. I spoke with Erica Burns, a transgender female and Robert Lee, a gender-neutral person. That was a new one for me. Erica's story is one you've heard before: She always knew she was born into the wrong body. About 9 months ago, at 23, she took action ... and hormones. Robert goes by "he" because he was born into a male body, and he is comfortable with it. But it doesn't stop there. He is not a hermaphrodite. He calls himself "gender fluid." This podcast is the first 20 minutes of the show. To hear the full hour, click here after July 29.
