About Eric

Eric is a lifelong learner, explorer, and problem solver who is always seeking for the next big challenge. From formulating big ideas to obsessing about the finest details, Eric is passionate about the creative process and takes pride in bringing ideas to life. He strives for discovery and pushing the human race forward, whether it’s solving day-to-day problems in rural Kenya or building prototype satellites to expand our knowledge beyond earth. Design is about solving even the smallest everyday challenges in order to ultimately tackle the complex problems humanity faces today.

When he’s not building prototypes, Eric seeks inspiration in the outdoors—honing his eye for detail in photography, traveling abroad to experience other cultures, and getting his daily dose of adrenaline on the ski slopes.
