Hi, I'm Eric. I design and develop killer UX.

I approach design from an applied arts perspective: the application of design and aesthetics to objects of function and everyday use. From sleek, minimal application interfaces where a UI disappears, to richly-textured, immersive game interfaces which enhance a storyline, my goal is to find the sweet spot where form meets function to create a compelling user experience.
My skills as a front-end developer allow me to work seamlessly with engineering and product teams to deliver game-changing products. I see a project through its entire life cycle, from the conceptual stage, through design and iteration, to production and development. I'm hands-on and like to keep my hands dirty.

Eric has an uncanny knack to take disparate design ideas and turn them into a solid graphical treatment that elegantly meets the product's needs. He works closely with Design, Product, Art, and Engineering teams to find the optimal interface for situations varying from simple dialogs to complex, multi-page flows. He is definitely our UI Guru!

Eric has been the key to UI and design on the projects he has worked on in Playdom. He is thorough and fast with keeping the beauty and elegance in the designs he creates. Eric seems to have an amazing golden touch to his designs that give our games that professional touch. Any company would be lucky if they had a designer like Eric, but finding a designer as skilled as Eric is extremely difficult to find. I look forward to the day I get to work with Eric again! Emma Kumakura, Studio Art Manager, Playdom/Disney Interactive Media Group
Eric was my first hire at Gazillion/SmartyCard and is complete rockstar. He was instrumental in developing our IP, interface and beautifully scripted and designed games. He's a natural leader, meticulous art director and superb developer. Eric's Flash/AS3 game design and development skills are superior and I cannot recommend him highly enough as an individual contributor or team lead.

Eric is a great designer who can tackle complex interaction challenges in novel and impressively simple, intuitive ways. He was an essential part of our launch team and definitely a great person to work with, a major asset on any team. Steven Linde, VP Engineering, SmartyCard
Eric is a wonderful designer and a pleasure to work with. His work is beautiful, but even better, it's smart. He understood our users and what they needed to feel comfortable. His attention to detail is excellent. I would work with him again in a heart beat! Martha Breen, Instructional Development Team, Academy of Art University
As my only designer, I relied on Eric for a lot of work. He was great at not only cranking out work based on existing design specs (read: tedious production work), but had the creative instinct to come up with innovative new ideas as well. Eric was directly responsible for innovative Flash experiences that were the showcases on Macromedia.com. He is enthusiastic and always positive, rare for a designer. Highly recommended. Matt Snow, Interactive Art Director, Macromedia
