As early as I can remember, I have continued to create, learn, improve my skills and build an awesome career as a designer. I have worked in-house with three global brands and several interactive agencies designing and developing multiple projects ranging from brand identity to logo design, global brand websites, mobile apps and product photo direction.

Here are a few recent things my cross-functional partners had to say
“Having worked pretty closely during my first year at Intuit, I can say that Erik has been a huge asset in my onboarding into the company. He is always willing to collaborate and work closely as a team member to make sure we are putting out our best work for front doors. Erik definitely has a strong design sense and someone I look to for answers around my design questions. He understands our design systems well, and helps drive beautiful design within our design guidelines. He is also a very technical savvy person and at the forefront of the latest tools and trends which was apparent in his involvement in rolling out Figma to the whole Intuit design community.”

“Erik has been a great partner to work with – reliable, talented and supportive.
I had the opportunity to collaborate with Erik on TaxCaster as well as the provocation prototype.
On Taxcaster, he jumped in to support self-serve research and was open to taking on new responsibilities in order to keep the project progressing. On the provocation prototype, I noticed how he really takes the time to listen and consider other people’s perspective when designing. Not only is he thoughtful and skilled at what he does, but I also appreciate his desire to continuously be learning.”

“Erik is a good design partner to collaborate with. He is very open to input from Content Design, and handles all feedback well.
I have worked with Erik on projects that were more "blue sky" like provocations, as well as more nitty-gritty deliverables, and he brings the same good attitude and design skill to both.”
— Product Manager at Intuit
“CUSTOMER OBSESSION - Congratulations on being a Favorite Fix winner! Really appreciate your investment in thinking about where our customers are feeling friction and how we can drive confidence and ease in their tax prep experience.”
