experience and leadership

Research and design what people love and trust

I’m Erik, a seasoned researcher and design leader based on Ontario. I’m a proud best friend to two dogs, and an aspiring indie game developer in my spare time.
Read on for my thoughts on design & tech, and a few case studies that showcase how I bring my experience in leadership, psychology, and design to make our world a little better.

My goals

As the world gets more and more complicated and divided, I leverage my dual background in psychology and design to help teams prioritize and implement solutions with real positive impact and meaning.

My values

I value the intersection of data, judgement, and experience, believing that the best outcomes arise when we rigorously validate our understanding of the problem before building.

What I’m up to

Having wrapped up more than a decade in research and design, I’m taking some time off to reflect on my career, and explore what I’d like to do for the next few decades.

To keep my passion burning, I’m acting on a long-held dream to develop a puzzle videogame, which is helping me get back to my artistic side, while also flex my programming and systems design muscles.
