About Me

I love being a designer as it feeds my curious nature. The challenge of framing a problem and then discovering the user needs and solutions is very satisfying. I love to learn new things, go to new places, and investigate the world around me. I spend my time exploring on day trips, sketching in small local coffee shops, or doing a light weight crossword puzzle.

Eric genuinely takes pleasure in pushing through roadblocks for his team, enabling their work, and mentoring each individual. Eric has been and will be an invaluable asset to any organization as an incredibly talented professional, a collaborative and prolific teammate, and a sincerely beautiful human.

Building Team Culture

I love to bring people together to work hard and enjoy the experience. People are a puzzle; if you engage and listen, you can always find a way to fit them together. To me, that’s what being a cultural catalyst is all about.

Globe Trotting

I have been fortunate to travel the world to research iconography and discover the history and beauty of other places and people.

Making Art

I love to explore different art materials and styles and document parts of my life journey through illustrated journaling. This has also led to me teaching online classes at Sketchbook Skool.

Building a Home

I moved to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state in 2022 and found a small plot of land on which I am building an energy efficent, custom designed house. I’ve become a junior project manager, 3D software architect, and model fabricator helping the builder plan and execute this massive endeavor. I’ve learned a lot about large project management, cost analysis and working with tradespeople from every walk of life. It’s very satisfying to see your vision become reality.
