Hi, I'm Eric.   

I create delightful and engaging learning experiences.

I’m a Creative Director and an award-winning Learning Experience Designer. I’ve spent the last 13+ years creating custom eLearning that actually engages, motivates, and energizes learners. I love the challenge of igniting the joy in learning through the power of story and dynamic visual design.
