Erica Siegel is a fashion/home product developer, stylist, self-proclaimed foodie, art history fanatic and travel and puppy enthusiast. At 23, she was diagnosed with a rare connective tissue disorder, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome and Mast Cell Activation Disorder, forcing her to move home with her parents. Now, at 25 years old, Erica has made serious progress in her recovery (with routine injection procedures, medication, multiple therapies and a few great doctors) with hard work to finally pursue her dreams of getting her MA in Fashion Design Management moving to London in the fall. Also a writer and blogger, she continues to advocate for the chronically ill.
