SKILLSMy skill set runs wide and goes deep
Eric was my first hire at Gazillion/SmartyCard and is complete rockstar. He was instrumental in developing our IP, interface and beautifully scripted and designed games. He's a natural leader, meticulous art director and superb developer. Eric's Flash/AS3 game design and development skills are superior and I cannot recommend him highly enough as an individual contributor or team lead.

Compelling User Experiences

I create fully-immersive experiences, sleekly minimal experiences, and everything in between. Print involves visuals, multimedia adds audio, and now mobile devices introduce touch. I consider all of these to create a compelling experience.

  • Richly-textured worlds
  • HTML minimalism
  • Brand-appropriate design
  • Audio design

Rapid Prototyping

I create fully-interactive code-based prototypes which allow early proof of concept. In many cases my class-based animation can be plugged directly into production code.

  • Interactive wireframes
  • Proofs of concept
  • Paper prototypes
  • User testing

Applied Visual Design

Delight the user or stay out of her way. My design approach is wholly appropriate to the function of the product and desire of the user.

Motion can provide subtle usage cues, celebrate a win moment, and give products a personality. I bring products alive with motion.

  • Code-driven animation classes
  • Greensock Tween Platform for AS/JS
