What People Are Saying
“I feel extremely lucky to have had my first professional design position be under the leadership of Eric. Eric is probably one of the most intelligent, laid back, and genuinely great humans you could ever work with. His creative direction and eye for user-centric design across not one, but two different brands *simultaneously* was incredible.
He was always authentic, offered excellent design and process critique, and ensured that his team received all the support they needed. I would always look forward to our 1:1 conversations because he would take a genuine interest in every member of his teams’ professional growth, workload, and mental health.
I would highly recommend Eric for any and all design or creative direction roles in a heartbeat.”
— John Lynch, Product Designer
“Eric is a great Creative Director, leader, and mentor. He was the top reason I decided to join the Design team at 55places.com. Always cool-headed under pressure and a fully engaged leader, Eric inspired his team to deliver the best possible work by exploring ideas outside the norm and always making the user’s experience a priority. He pushed us to go beyond basics, guiding the team to look at different viewpoints while encouraging us to bring our individual experiences into our work. His creativity, skills, and full understanding of the entire creative and product process forged strong collaboration with other disciplines throughout the company. I would strongly recommend Eric as he will be a highly-valued and respected member of your team!”

“Eric is among one the of the most seasoned designers you will ever meet. He's incredibly adept at developing junior talent and has a great presence in the room with even the most demanding clients. Despite all of this, Eric's greatest strength is the ability to thematically ground his work and the work of his reports and peers. Every detail of every piece has an explanation as to why a design decision was made. His work has as much thought put into the idea as any I have encountered.”
