Eric Millington is a multidisciplinary designer and creative director with over two decades of experience turning complex ideas into clean, compelling visuals.

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.
