I’m Erik
A UX designer who thrives at building from zero — taking something undefined and turning it into something people want to use every day.
I've shipped 0-to-1 products at Amazon, traveled the country collaborating with teams across every function, and learned that the best products feel less like tools and more like something people make their own.
Feel free to reach out — I’d be glad to connect.

My Design Approach
I approach design through clarity, systems thinking, and real-world constraints — turning complex problems into decisions teams can act on.
Understand the problem
I start by understanding how systems actually work — not just user needs, but business goals, dependencies, and constraints that shape real decisions.
Align and iterate
I use design to align teams early — turning ideas into tangible prototypes that drive faster, more confident decisions.
Create clarity
I break down complexity into clear structure — simplifying flows, reducing friction, and making systems easier to understand and use.
Deliver and scale
I focus on solutions that don’t just look good — but are practical, buildable, and scalable across real products and teams.
Let’s Work Together
I’m open to full-time roles and select consulting engagements where I can contribute to meaningful, high-impact work.
I typically respond within 24–48 hours.
