About Eric C.
Greetings! I am a 2D and 3D Lead Animator & Designer who has been creating computer graphics professionally at a Boston production company for nearly a decade.

I think computer graphics is a fantastic area to get into. It is the core foundation of many modern career paths, and a great supplement to many more. It's also a ton of fun, and enables you to tell any sort of visual story you can imagine, given the proper tools. If you're interested in growing your computer graphics capabilities, whether you're an industry veteran or absolute beginner, I would love to share my experience and help you on your journey.

Eric has experience with map animation that gives him insight into how to help me with my particular project and the specific help with animation that I need.

My son is dyslexic and Eric is so patient with him. He's learning things I never thought would be possible and enjoying everything about his time with Eric! As a parent, working with Eric is very easy. He cares about his students and really wants them to enjoy their time with him. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a teacher/ tutor!

Eric was helpful. I had a quick intro in to what I needed to know for my project and what tools would be most useful.
It would have been ideal, if I had known ahead of time that he was not well-versed on all features of Adobe Creative Cloud, but at least I know what is possible with his expertise.
Otherwise Eric conveyed a professional competence and was easy to talk to.
