Experience & credibility

Two decades of work that ranked, shipped, and sold.

I started in early web design, won the search era with a decade of #1 rankings, built brands and digital strategy for national names, then proved social media at national scale in Thailand's entertainment industry. Each shift rewarded the same thing: systems over trends.

  • Ranked at the top of highly competitive search terms in web design and digital marketing — sustained for years, not months.

About Eric

Operator first. Strategist second. Tool-agnostic always.

I'm a Chicago-born creative strategist and entrepreneur, based in Bangkok for the past decade. I've run a top-ranked design agency, driven music releases to #1 on national charts, and generated billions of views across projects and clients. Every major shift in digital — web, search, social, and now AI — has rewarded the same approach, and today I help businesses build the marketing, content, and automation systems that big teams take for granted.

I don't sell creativity as magic. I build repeatable systems — for visibility, for leads, for production efficiency — and hold them accountable to results.
