One of the most creative, divergent thinkers I've ever worked with. His technical ability combined with an incredible imagination are assets to every project.
A highly skilled content director with creative drive and great management skills. He constantly motivates his team to grow, learn, and adopt new technologies.
His finger is always on the pulse of what's about to happen in pop culture, film, and technology. I ran prototypes by him to see if they passed what I fondly called the "Eric test."
A 90s video store experience that lives online. Wander the shelves, play trailers on the CRT, and ask Ronnie, the clerk with real taste, what to rent tonight. Built solo as a love letter to browsing.

A satirical, speculative interactive food project about bureaucracy, logistics, and algorithmic decision-making. Part game, part future artifact, it imagines a food system where personal taste gets processed through institutional rules.

A near-future concept: a portable atmospheric water generator for people displaced by climate events. Designed during Institute for the Future training.
A secret community spent fifty years restoring Neanderthal bloodlines. Then the world found out. A 10-episode prestige limited series about science as scripture, belonging as ideology, and a civilization built on a lie.
In development

I came up in the early days of digital video. Shot, directed, and edited over 500 videos. Original series, short ads, branded work. I co-founded a film festival for movies made on phones, webcams, and point-and-shoots, back before the iPhone could even shoot video.
Eventually I got more interested in the other half of it. What performs and what doesn't. What actually resonates. How you build a strategy around that instead of guessing. That led me into content strategy, and eventually marketing.
I've spent most of my career arriving before the thing had a name, which is still where I'm most useful.
