Eric is an award-winning creative with nearly two decades of experience in commercial photography and video. Formerly based out of Chicago, he’s had the
opportunity to work with top-of-the-line crews and top-of-the-line companies on projects big and small.
But what energizes him most is the rapid change and evolution occurring in the industry. For the past two years, Eric has been a director of photography
and creative director in the visual effects industry, working with international brands such as Under Armour and Bose. Eric won a Clio Award for his
“Strong Babies” campaign and a Graphis Platinum Award for his work with the Saratoga Shakespeare Company.
In his eyes (and brain), it’s all about “what’s next” and how do we make it different, bolder, and better. Which is why he headed West to become part of
a city that he believes embodies that forward-thinking culture. To him, Des Moines’ creative upswell and Applied Art’s talent is what’s next.
