 Erin Sarofsky 
President and ECD, Sarofsky and Sarofsky TBD, and Creator of “Meet the Skrimps”
Having kick-started her Sarofsky Studio (a WBENC-certified Woman-Owned Business) in 2009, Erin Sarofsky has already built a prolific career distinguished by collaborations with acclaimed directors Joe and Anthony Russo and James Gunn, among many others. The force behind countless main titles for blockbuster films and TV series, Sarofsky has also brought its unique artistry to commercial projects for major brands such as Absolut, Apple, and Jeep. Hailed as a Distinguished Alumna by the Rochester Institute of Technology, Erin is a sought-after speaker at industry events worldwide, and has earned accolades including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. Beyond her creative endeavors, she mentors industry professionals globally and is involved in initiatives like Free The Work. In 2023, Sarofsky expanded with the inclusion of Nolo Digital Film and the launch of Sarofsky TBD, a strategic creative company. The future looks extremely bright as Sarofsky continues to elevate conceptual design – and elegantly resolve creative challenges – for major brands in advertising and entertainment.
