About

I'm Eric, a product designer in New York City.

I have an eye for clear interactions and a deep background in technical product management and consulting. As such, I am well-positioned to work with a variety of stakeholders to create and execute experiences that users find both meaningful and delightful.

I've also been known to snap iPhone photos as I wander the streets of NYC (and beyond); I'm a sucker for industrial and architectural patterns.

Piqued your interest? Feel free to drop me a line. 😎✌️
