I'm Eric Ellis
I’m a user-centered design director who develops creative teams and designs award-winning digital products.
I’m a problem solver. I use humanistic design thinking as a catalyst for change. I look to uncover latent needs, think big, then apply rapid design and prototyping to envision the possible.
I’m a digital director. I have directed cross-functional teams of product managers, designers, engineers, testers, and business leaders for an enterprise, a software company, and a consultancy.
My Latest Work
My experience is comprehensive: branding, user experience, product strategy, content strategy, visual design, usability testing, front-end development, project management, and sales enablement. I use all of these skills to lead teams and create solutions that are scalable, viable, and engaging.
