Hello! I’m Eric Powell, an experienced Product Designer in Portland, OR.

Eric is an exceptionally talented Design Lead who is able to juggle multiple high priority projects at once. I had the pleasure of working with Eric on one of Walmart's top priorities. Eric handled the multitude of stakeholders and partner teams with ease, always being hyperfocus on the customer. I would work with Eric again in a heartbeat because I always appreciated how he broke down complex problems ultimately leading to a beautiful and usable experience.

Eric is a highly-skilled designer whom I had the pleasure of collaborating with on a few high profile projects while at Walmart. He rapidly delivers top-notch designs without sacrificing his process and is a persistent and vocal advocate for the user. As a designer his skillset is unparalleled. As a collaborator, he is always looking to think outside the box, a true joy to work with.

It's so great when you come across a person who is dependable, detailed, thoughtful, and understands the balance of creating amazing experiences that are human-centered and at the same time move the business forward. You would be at a loss if you missed an opportunity to work with Eric on your team! (While Sr. UX Manager II, Online Grocery Pickup & Delivery, Walmart)

Eric is one of those stand out designers you wish you had multiples of on your team. I was fortunate enough to work with Eric during his time at Walmart where we collaborated on projects in the automotive space. Eric is an amazing collaborator, sharing his learnings and experiences with other designers on the team elevating everyone's projects. His positive attitude and willingness to roll up his sleeves to help others will be sorely missed on the team! Any employer would be lucky to count Eric as a member of their design organization.

Eric is a talented designer who can balance high pressure timelines with a great sense of art direction. He is a team player and excels at collaborating with others to drive towards a premium brand creative solution.

I have worked with Eric on and off since 2001 and highly recommend him. I first met him when I hired him at Media Arts Group where he had many roles including art direction, presentation layer development, sound design, original music production, and even some UX design for a ton of projects varying from online ads to 3-tier web sites. Eric is a veritable Swiss Army knife. He is extremely talented, incredibly efficient, and super fun to work with. We have worked at four different companies over the years and I hope we can work together again some day.

Eric is your go to person for design thinking. I had the opportunity to work with Eric on a high profile project at Walmart. We spent several days in a brainstorming session together. During this time I got to see Eric shine. He helped lead the session and collaborated well with the other participants. Eric brought great ideas to the team and helped other participants open up get their ideas out. Eric was able to take all the workshop ideas and create solid experiences that showcased the ask from our product owners and needs of our users. I wish I could have worked more with Eric. He is a great collaborator and always a positive force to have in the room. Eric would be a great addition to any team he is on!

I had the pleasure of working and sharing an office with Eric at Walmart. Throughout the high visibility initiative we collaborated on, Eric gracefully and seamlessly balanced executive demands with the customer perspective. His ability to create elegant solutions with a customer-focused mindset met the needs of the business while never losing sight of our main goal: to create a first-in-class user experience. He is not only a top class professional, he is also a phenomenal coworker who helps to create a positive, fun, and inspiring workplace culture. I hope we get to work together again in the future!

I really enjoyed working with Eric at Razorfish Portland on Best Buy, Microsoft, and Coors Light. Eric is a talented art director, designer, and musician as well as an all around good guy. As a young designer, I often looked to his work as an inspiration for my own and often came to him for advice which he was always willing to give. He would be a great addition to any team in need of a senior creative who delivers fresh ideas, amazing design, and is able to mentor and guide younger talent.

I had the privilege of working with Eric on Walmart’s Gift Finder. He was able to successfully execute with thought and detail in quite the time crunch that led to a product that consistently has had double site-wide conversion!

Eric is a dedicated designer who goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional results. One of Eric's standout qualities is his collaborative nature. He thrives in team environments and is always willing to share his expertise and ideas. His ability to work seamlessly with peers and colleagues makes him an asset to any project.

Eric's creative acumen shines through in his designs, his desire to consistently innovate and he always keeps the customer and business goals at the forefront of all designs. His work is a testament to his artistic and technical abilities. Eric is a dedicated, collaborative, and a talented designer who consistently delivers outstanding results. His supportive nature and commitment to design makes him an invaluable addition to any team or project. I wholeheartedly recommend Eric and believe he will excel in any creative endeavor he pursues.

It is with very mixed emotions I write this recommendation for Eric, who has been an invaluable asset to our ebay Motors team. Eric is not just a designer, he is an amazing, passionate, and talented individual who possesses the ability to deeply understand the industry he is designing for.

Eric’s designs have consistently surpassed expectations, blending creativity with industry-specific knowledge to create visually appealing and highly effective assets. Eric has a remarkable ability to understand and convey the unique needs of our space through his work.

Beyond Eric’s talent, he is a pleasure to work with, always collaborative, adaptable, and willing to go the extra mile. Eric’s departure is a loss to our team, however I am confident Eric will excel wherever the road takes him. Eric’s departure leaves an indelible mark, I will miss Eric and wish him nothing but success on the highway ahead.
