"Working with Erik the past year and a half in the startup environment of The Clymb has been a memorable experience. Since Erik joined the company, the staff and the pace of business has more than doubled, bringing many challenges, which he met with uncompromising attention to detail, considerate guidance, and a knack for process —all underpinned by a much-appreciated sense of humor. Through thick and thin, Erik has seen projects through to completion and enables his design staff to perform at their best, while still encouraging growth and exploration.

Erik truly values creative inspiration and a mindfulness of current trends. He regularly shares his sources with the group, helping inspire high-quality work and sparking edifying discussion."
