who am i
Hey there, my name's Erik. Iโm a design storyteller passionate about curating unforgettable experiences, both digital and physical. I combine my years of experience as a dedicated brand designer with my technical industrial design background to bring brands to life at every touchpoint. I thrive as both a hands-on designer and a creative team leader, adapting easily to teams of any size. Above all, Iโm driven to keep learning, experimenting, and growing in my pursuit of becoming a fully-fledged design wizard.

MY MAGICAL JOURNEY
August 2015 - May 2019
Purdue University
Industrial Design Student
Developed my foundations in product design, branding, illustrations, and for some reason wood working. All while being a part of the D1 swim team. A lot of late nights were had.

June 2018 - August 2018
Vans
Design Operations / Footwear Design Intern
I had the unique opportunity to learn both the shoe design process and seasonal product line strategy at arguably one of the coolest footwear companies in the world. I developed a gant chart model to visualize overlapping seasonal line rollouts and assisted in-line footwear design projects while interning.

Table Rock
Brand Designer -> Senior Designer -> Creative Director
At Table Rock, I've played a key role in evolving the companyโs visual identity and creative projects to keep pace with rapid growth and rising expectations. I joined when Table Rock was a six-person startup and grew with it as it expanded to a 30+ person team and was eventually acquired by a publicly traded company. Along the way, I sharpened my creative skills, took on increasing leadership responsibilities, and learned how to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with scaling a business.
