Hello, I’m Eric Karns—a designer, strategist, and creative leader who sees design as more than just aesthetics—design shapes how people connect with a brand, builds trust, and turns strategy into something tangible and meaningful.
About Me
I’ve been fortunate to lead design where brand, technology, and storytelling come together, shaping experiences that feel effortless and inevitable. From redesigning Sony PlayStation’s movie and TV platform to helping guide Healthcare.gov’s rescue efforts as Creative Director, I’ve worked on high-stakes projects where clarity, cohesion, and consistency were critical. My work has been recognized with a Nielsen Norman Group Best Intranets of 2022 award 🥇 and a Best in Show ADDY for branding and web design—reminders that thoughtful design, executed well, can drive real impact.
My Work
I care deeply about brand integrity, ensuring that every touchpoint—whether a website, trade show, internal tool, or campaign—feels cohesive and intentional. I lead design teams to produce meaningful work while collaborating across disciplines to align brand strategy with business goals, creating solutions that are both visually compelling and built to scale.
