About

Erjon founded Eri Design in 2005 and has since grown the company into a multi-faceted team loaded with talent. He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from Becker College here in Worcester. Fast forward to the present day, and he has garnered numerous distinctive website design awards for outstanding work. Erjon guides the creative direction of all projects and is always thinking about what would serve users and clients best. It’s a lot of work to run an agency, but when Erjon has free time, he enjoys snowboarding, mountain biking, and exploring different corners of the world.

Edwin brings a wealth of technical expertise to our team, including computer engineering and digital security. An active member of the WordPress community, Edwin is a core contributor and helped develop the new Gutenberg text editor. He enjoys the solidarity of nature and spends most of his time gardening, hiking, or tinkering with electronics. He’s also been to the Arctic Circle in Svalbard!

Jordan fulfills several critical tasks on our team, including web content management, search engine optimization, and usability testing. He’s a Worcester native and graduate of Assumption College, where he studied English and learned his love of creative writing. Jordan loves the ability to use his writing skills to drive and improve web experiences. In his free time, Jordan likes to play his PS4 and hit the links (when the New England weather permits, of course). Fun fact: he can solve a Rubik’s cube in less than 2 minutes.

Since 2015, Ryan has served as our lead designer. He approaches each project with a user experience design focus and thrives off of solving complex user challenges. His designs are always a tasteful mixture of simplicity, clean lines, and attention-demanding aesthetics. He pretty much designs 24/7, but when he’s not, he spends time with his two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Lola and Sierra.

In his off time, he likes experimenting with his skills building sites wherever he sees a potential community or problem he can solve. He’s currently particularly interested in the podcast space.
