At Lake Ramen Studios, all services are personally led by Erica Barker (Moose) — creative operations manager, artist development consultant, and your friendly neighborhood chaos wrangler.
Whether you’re a musician, content creator, or imaginative human trying to turn ideas into action, these offerings are designed to meet you where you are and help you grow — with strategy, support, and a healthy dose of whimsy.
Everything I do is rooted in creative integrity and mental well-being. That means no one-size-fits-all formulas, no soul-sucking grind culture — just thoughtful, personalized support to help your projects stay aligned with who you are.
This isn’t a big marketing agency. It’s one moose providing services with a whole lot of heart.
I don’t believe in treating artists like content machines or stats on a spreadsheet — I meet people where they are, support them like human beings, and help them grow at their own pace.
Let’s make some magic, shall we?
