ABOUT

Hands-on creative lead based in New York. Currently a Sr Design Manager at eBay.

BIO

Originally from Cleveland, OH, I moved to New York City in 2008 to study at Pratt Institute, where I received a BFA in Communications Design / Graphic Design.

I have experience designing for household brands and leading teams that are committed to creating innovative work that elevates brand experiences, meets business needs, and advocates for the voice of people.

TESTIMONIALS

Eric has a voice, great talent, charisma, and killer creative instinct. He understands the power of design in shaping a story, vision, and experience. He designs with elegance, responsiveness, simplicity, and a refined aesthetic. He's equally skilled across all digital, brand vision, social platforms, live action, photography, and customer experience initiatives. Eric has a great gut. With the abilities he's refined with years of experience, and his evolving capabilities as a leader, that gut-instinct can be an incredible trait.

CHRIS ROMERO
VP OF DESIGN, AT&T

Eric produces some of the best and most innovative work in the digital space, constantly pushing the boundaries of both design as well as brand to find a sweet spot that is visually appealing and digitally engaging to consumers while also teaching them and selling them on the brand at hand. He is always striving for the best design as well as the best possible experience for the customer, which results in some of the top work. Additionally, Eric is able to step outside of the role of a designer and don a multitude of other relevant hats.

CORLEY STONE
PRODUCT MARKETING, AT&T

There are only a few times in one’s career that you get to meet and work alongside someone as thought-provoking and talented as Eric. He is an outstanding design leader that brings a combination of professionalism, creative vision, technical understanding, and organizational skills to any team or project. In addition, Eric is adept at driving cross-organizational and cross-functional teams, bringing experiences to life from concept to ship, both as a leader and individual contributor.

DAVE JONES
SR DESIGN DIRECTOR, EBAY

Eric designs as he lives — with energy, honesty and dedication. Together we created everything from full websites, to web apps, to landing pages and checkout flows for complex digital products — some of which broke DIRECTV conversion records. His design chops made easy work of it all. He’s also very thoughtful and conscientious: in design, he’s always putting the user first; on our team, he was extremely reliable and always did what it took to get the job done.
