Eric Millington

Eric Millington is a multidisciplinary designer and creative director with over two decades of experience turning complex ideas into clean, compelling visuals. As the founder of Pixelheap, he’s led branding, web, and digital strategy projects for clients ranging from startups to global tech companies — including long-term partnerships with GlobalFoundries and the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC). Eric specializes in design that does more than look good — it clarifies, elevates, and connects. Whether he’s building an identity system, designing a conference booth, or translating policy into infographics, his work blends strategic thinking with thoughtful, refined execution. He’s as comfortable developing high-level creative direction as he is jumping into code, layout, or motion. Rooted in both print and digital, Eric brings a deep understanding of brand, content, and user experience to every project — with a style that’s equal parts intentional and approachable.
