About

Hi, I’m Eric — a product leader, designer, software engineer, and educator based in New York. I view software as a medium for good design, and care deeply about craft and execution.

I’m currently focused on creating something new at Orchard Analytics and also teach computer science in the Communication Design program at Parsons.

At the Eames Institute, my role as Senior Digital Product Director was to oversee and translate all the amazing work we do to our digital surfaces. My work ranged from design and development to strategy; and mainly covered the website, as well as the myriad of other digital platforms used to share the lessons of Ray and Charles Eames. I am a firm believer in moving/building iteratively and thinking deeply, working across physical and digital boundaries to ensure the best user experience for our visitors. Previously, I was the Senior Product Designer and Developer at MoMA, where I led product design, front-end, and digital strategy of the Museum’s website and other digital surfaces. In addition to MoMA, I have worked at Cinder, O-R-G, Google Design, IDEO, and LUST.

I also teach interaction design and computer science at Parsons, and have been an invited guest at Princeton, Yale, NYU, SVA, TCNJ, Rutgers, Pratt, CCA, RISD, and UPenn.

I graduated summa cum laude with a B.S.E. in computer science and visual arts from Princeton, where I was the recipient of the Jim Seawright Award in Visual Arts.
