Hey there!

I'm Erik.

I’m a Richmond-based 2D motion designer.

With nearly 7 years in the motion design industry, I’ve had the privilege of wearing many hats at some amazing studios across the country. I’ve helped solve a wide range of design problems through motion — whether that was art directing a team of animators, creating unique animated videos under varying brand guidelines, or acting as a vfx supervisor on set.

While my focus has been on animation, I consider myself first and foremost a designer. I’m highly adaptable and strive to constantly push the boundaries of my design skills — including designing my own website, experimenting with Lottie animations, and illustrating in my free time.
