Erica Ortiz-Berke, Board Member

Erica Ortiz-Berke was born in Los Alamos, New Mexico and primarily raised in Santa Fe. As a teenager, she lived in the San Francisco Bay Area and went to college in Los Angeles, California, and Denver, Colorado. This change further broadened her understanding of people, culture, and environmental impacts on how the melange of elements opened her eyes to how each place has its sometimes subtle, but unique way of living.

Growing up in a home with wonderful parents and an older sister…her childhood was definitely blessed! She was showered with love, many travel experiences, and an unwavering amount of support to follow her dreams and let her passions in life be her driving force. With her family taking on projects they all worked on together such as designing and building homes and rebuilding old cars, troubleshooting and working through challenges and the path forward was a team effort. Erica was always told that following her dreams was sometimes not easy and took a lot of hard work, but well worth it. Quitting was never an option! Her dream to become an Interior Designer was achieved 12 years ago when she founded Neubleu Interior Design. She knows that with love, support, and the ability to see no boundaries, little girls everywhere can run the world boldly and fearlessly. She knows that working hard, never giving up, and reaching for the stars is attainable!
