Joining Blind as an editor in 2001, and now as a creative director, Erik has continually made time to explore and experiment with different styles, ideas and techniques. He has focused on bringing a sense of humanity to computer graphics through the use of natural materials like watercolor, paper, pen and ink and the integration of live action photography with motion graphic design.

Originally from Wisconsin, Erik escaped to warmer climates and found work in Hollywood editing trailers for indie film studios, commercials and feature film title sequences. As an editor, highlights of Erik’s work include several television spots, main title sequences for “Lost Souls” and “The Thomas Crown Affair” and theatrical trailers for Dolby Digital Sound and “Saving Private Ryan.”

Recent directorial work includes national spots for Russell Athletic, Chili’s, Pringles Minis, Honda, Kyocera and First National Bank as well as award winning promos for SpikeTV, Fuse and many others.
