People
We are experts - creatively driven, strategically wired, and all-in.

We’re also quick studies. We voraciously consume complicated information, objectively explore new subject matter, and enthusiastically engage with diverse cultures.

Erik Karasyk has pushed the threshold of design and digital experiences for nearly two decades. Throughout his career, he has balanced creativity and technology with the power of 3-D visualization, animation, and programmatic rendering techniques. He initially rode the digital wave of the late ‘90s with key roles at digital design, production and visual effects companies like Heavy.com and CHRLX. He became a sought-after technical director working on award-winning projects for global brands, including Kraft, Acura, Sprint, McDonald’s and Miller. Later, he went in house with Nike’s celebrated internal brand design group, which worked on the then top-secret Nike+ platform and product rollout.
Erik spearheads projects that focus on blending technology, rich visual content, and the human experience. He makes the complicated appear simple, so our clients can capitalize on the power of creative vision.
