I had the excellent opportunity to work with Erick at Infoblox. Erick is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable UX Designers that I know. He is excellent in explaining and articulating even the most difficult concepts of the domain (DDI). His expertise has helped in integrating many requirements creatively, and significantly improving the product. His extensive domain knowledge and continuous updating with the latest research and trends has helped immensely in all our design tasks. He has fostered a collaborative environment where we could share and brainstorm ideas, and welcome constructive criticism. I am proud and happy to have worked with him.
Erick was the first graphic design Lead I ever worked under, and he taught me skills that I still use to this day. With his patient, hardworking manner, and his intense focus, he excels at any design job.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of working closely with Erick and have witnessed firsthand his exceptional design acumen and unwavering dedication to excellence.

Erick's willingness to offer constructive recommendations and adapt to changing priorities is a testament to his adaptability and problem-solving abilities. He is not afraid to challenge the status quo when he believes a flow or design element can be improved, always with the user's best interests in mind.
