"During our collaboration on several projects at Mojang, I had the privilege of working closely with Eric, and I can unequivocally attest to his outstanding skills as a UX designer. What truly distinguishes Eric is his remarkable aptitude for collaboration, which not only elevates the work of his fellow designers but also cultivates a highly creative atmosphere within the team. Eric consistently prioritizes the players' best interests, a quality that significantly enhanced the Minecraft features he contributed to, making them not only better but also more intuitive. His commitment to advocating for the user experience invariably resulted in solutions that exceeded expectations. Moreover, Eric's approachable demeanor and adept communication skills fostered an environment where ideas flowed freely and were refined collaboratively. This collaborative spirit led to the development of elegant solutions that addressed complex challenges with finesse. In summary, I highly recommend Eric to any team seeking a UX designer who excels in collaboration and consistently delivers exceptional results. It was a pleasure collaborating with him at Mojang, and I have no doubt that he will continue to excel in any environment he contributes to."

"Eric is an ambitious and experienced UX designer. At Mojang he worked across several teams, quickly understanding each team's unique problems and creating user-centered designs for them. Eric was able to present the advantages and disadvantages of different options in a clear way that helped spread a player-first way of thinking and level up the UX understanding of those around him. It's clear that he has a lot of previous experience with game design. His ability to draw from his experience making games as well as other apps and products meant that he could jump right in to deep industry-specific conversations but also bring fresh ideas and perspectives from other fields. His contract has ended but he has left a lasting impact!!

"Eric is a multifaceted talent who has an excellent way of analyzing the wider concepts he is working on, always setting his attention to the wider goal of the project. He always thinks about what the team is trying to achieve on a higher level, and develops valuable ideas for improvement on an over-all level. In feedback situations he is opinionated, clear spoken and not afraid of questioning things that other may shy away from. As his manager, Eric has given me continuous feedback and advice which has helped me develop in my role. Eric is also a very social and caring person who is contributing to outside his role by for instance guiding new colleagues around town."
