Mae Yip is co-founder of ERIC the award-winning career exploration app supporting Gen Z break into the creative industries. Our founders Sam & Mae were both inherently creative thinkers and careers advice at school never resonated with them. It was always so disengaging and corporate focused. So, they created ERIC to fill this gap and allow for the new generation of creatives to easily access the best career resources and at the touch of a button.
