Eric in his natural habitat

👋 Oh hey, I'm Eric!

I got into design because I couldn't stop obsessing over the covers of my school projects when I was eight. That's either a great origin story or a red flag. Probably both.

I studied design at SFU in Vancouver, print, architecture, web, and ended up falling in with people who wanted to build things. I've spent the years since figuring out how to design for the bleeding edge without losing sight of the actual human on the other end. That tension still gets me out of bed.

I do my best work in small, scrappy teams, the kind where designer, PM, and engineer are basically finishing each other's sentences. I blur lines a bit: I'll get into the roadmap, build out the system, sometimes write the code. I stay late when we're shaping the problem.

When I'm not at a screen, I'm usually wrangling a toddler, which turns out to have a lot in common with product design: lots of negotiation, unclear requirements, and the occasional complete rejection of something you spent a lot of time on.
