Hi, I'm Erik
a Group Art Supervisor
...with 20 years of experience shaping ideas into thoughtful, high-performing creative, primarily in pharmaceutical advertising, with a solid footprint across global consumer brands as well.
I’m a designer at heart, but just as much a collaborator, mentor, and problem-solver. I’ve spent my career working closely with cross-functional teams, building strong client relationships, and presenting work that not only looks sharp but actually works. Whether it’s leading complex digital ecosystems, crafting interactive sales aids for pharma reps, or guiding teams of art directors and designers, I’m comfortable owning projects from kickoff to launch (and often juggling a few at once).
My approach blends design excellence with real-world functionality. I have a strong understanding of UX, accessibility, and front-end fundamentals, which means I’m not just thinking about how things look—but how they behave, scale, and perform. I stay close to trends but don’t chase them blindly; I prefer to push the work forward in ways that feel both innovative and intentional.
Lately, a big part of my focus has been AI—exploring how it can enhance creativity, streamline workflows, and unlock new ways of thinking. I actively look for ways to integrate it into my projects (including this website) to make the work smarter, faster, and more impactful.
At the end of the day, I’m someone who can adapt to any brand, any challenge, and elevate the creative along the way.
If you have a couple more minutes, please take a look at some of my work. Have a great day!

How It
All Started
My interest in art goes way back—long before briefs and deadlines—starting with childhood sketches, and weekend art classes at the Art Institute of Chicago at age of 14. In high school I slowly started transitioning to digital art and design which landed me my very first gigs; designing event flyers and album covers for local musicians. I later graduated from Illinois Institute of Art with Multimedia Design. My first job was full-time freelance at McDonald's followed by one of the biggest agencies in the world; FCB (formally DraftFCB). After 5 years of experience with global brands including Milkpep (Got Milk?), Jack Daniel's, State Farm, and Baxter, I decided to give pharma a try and landed at Eversana Intouch (formally Intouch Solutions) in which I've worked for 15 years.
