Hey there! I’m Eric (he/him).
I’m a full-time creative, a part-time amateur ice hockey player, and an avid gardener.
I use design to tell stories, through code, illustration, photography and videography.
I’m located in Waawiyaataanong — the place of the crooked river — Detroit, Michigan.
Drop me a line and let’s work together to tell the world your story.
