UX DESIGNER // STORYTELLER // DOG DAD
Hello!
I’m Erik, a UX Designer with a passion for storytelling and teamwork. I’ve helped a local Mpls company sell cookies baked with crickets, designed feature upgrades for white-labeled banking software and roadmapped an engagement strategy for healthcare professionals fighting the opioid epidemic.
I believe the best designs bring value to users while supporting both the user and business goals.
