Eric Forest RGD
Designer, Educator and Maker
What Eric Forest enjoys is phrasing design choices as problems. Which means design involves solving lots of little problems on a practical level.
Problems like “what shape will make people think of which types of businesses?” or “what is the fastest way to batch edit this folder of images?” and “what typographic choices result in the most legible paragraphs and clearest document hierarchy?”
Phrasing each design choice as a problem has been the foundation of Eric’s design practice since he started. And every time he asks a new question, he learns just a little bit more.
