Guten tag! I’m Erik, a design leader committed to servant leadership and staying close to the craft. I started the design team at Orium (formerly Myplanet) and currently lead product & design at Halo. I’m also an automotive enthusiast, a self-described bedroom producer, and a new parent of two.
As a design leader, I've handled DesignOps & management, strategy, and innovation. As a design director, I define UX strategy and guide senior stakeholders. And as a practitioner, I'm often directly involved in emerging practice areas and new product offerings. As a result, I relate to and translate effectively between senior leaders and individual contributors; I speak c-suite, but I also speak maker.
