Eric Smith

Senior Creative Director

Back in college, Eric was thrilled to discover Harper's and The New Yorker. It was the combination of big ideas and stylistic finesse that grabbed his imagination and wouldn't let go. Since then, he's been obsessed with expressing ideas that matter in ways that make them unforgettable. Eric is prized for his ability to both see the big picture and zoom in on the details that make a difference. And, he can shred it on the guitar.
