Erica Bigger is the Co-Founder of U Slept On Me & Founder of WhollyGloss in Baltimore, Maryland, and Los Angeles. She co-founded her companies in 2016 and 2018 after years of studying and gaining experience in business and grasping the art of fashion. She always knew she wanted to start her own business someday and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for advertising marketing and communication and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore for Fashion Merchandising and business.

She has also pitched some of the most prestigious venture capitalists, been featured at Pharrell's music festival "Something In the Water," and Flying Solo, which is one of New York's top fashion locations.
