UX DESIGNER // STORYTELLER // DOG DAD
Hello!
I’m Erik, a UX Designer with a passion for storytelling and teamwork. In my 15+ years in the design industry, I’ve co-designed an AI Interface for the #1 Legal Know-How product in the world, helped Legal Researchers accelerate their workflow, and roadmapped an engagement strategy for healthcare professionals fighting the opioid epidemic.

With a focus on designing for AI/ML, I currently work at Thomson Reuters where I collaborate on CoCounsel, the AI legal assistant. CoCounsel combines powerful collections of machine learning algorithms with an intuitive user interface to craft a new way for users to accomplish their tasks with AI/ML.

“Seeing Erik run and lead workshops for [Project] shows his attention detail in planning. In these sessions, Erik manages the group feedback very effectively. He sets up and leads the sessions clearly and is able to keep everyone’s focus on a specific feature and problem. This is a difficult task to do virtually, it is a difficult task when presenting complicated ideas, Erik makes it look easy”
