My Story

The Mission

At Echi Creations, my mission is to serve people through art. I believe in the power of creativity to uplift, connect, and inspire. Every piece I design, is hand illustrated and  created with intention to spark kindness, gratitude, and encourage authenticity.

Whether it's a handwritten note, a heartfelt gift, or a journey shared, I am building a brand that encourages people to stay true to themselves, to give generously, and to spread love and kindness.

Echi Creations is more than a brand. It’s a movement to love, be grateful and give with heart.

The Vision

At Echi Creations, my vision is to grow into a global stationery, gift, and heart-felt brand that inspires people everywhere to live with authenticity, gratitude, and kindness.

Meet the Founder of Echi Creations

My name is Erika Echavarria and since I was a little girl, I’ve always dreamed of having my own stationery store. My love for art and paper goods began around the age of three, when I would spend hours drawing, painting, and crafting handmade cards and mini quote books to sell to my parents and gift to my closest friends. Every penny I earned went right back into buying more art supplies and stationery; my first real investment in a lifelong passion.

My journey has been anything but ordinary. Born in Colombia and raised in the U.S. from age 13, I embraced new cultures and challenges, including learning English and pursuing diverse careers, as a licensed Realtor in Connecticut and New York, and for over a decade, I’ve also had the unique privilege of working as the personal assistant to best-selling author and ESPN personality Mike Greenberg, better known as “Greeny”.

Even with a full career and active community involvement with Junior Chamber International (JCI), my passion for stationery never dimmed.

With incredible support, I finally took the leap and launched Echi Creations a brand inspired by passion, to spread love, gratitude, authenticity and kindness.

Why “Echi Creations”?

When I started working with Greeny, he began calling me “Echi,” a playful twist on my last name, Echavarria. It stuck! Friends, colleagues, and even clients picked it up, and before long, I started calling myself Echi too. It felt personal, fun, and uniquely me. So when it came time to name my business, “Echi Creations” was a natural fit. Today, it's not just a nickname, it’s a registered trademark and the name behind a dream turned reality.
