About Me

Eric Allen Profile Picture

I'm Eric—a designer, builder, and writer living in Austin, Texas.

I'm obsessed with learning about everything: science, technology, engineering, product design, business (the list is long). I get excited when I can share what I've learned with others.

As a dad of 3, I love laughing with my wife and children. In my spare time, I enjoy long walks with a good playlist, watching great movies, cooking and eating great food, and solving every little problem in my life no matter how small.

If I could do anything, I would choose to:

  • Create beautiful, beloved, and useful things
  • Build strong and meaningful friendships with teammates
  • Make work feel like play by empowering authenticity
  • Love and help others
  • Discover who I am

I live in the Austin, TX area with my family. My perfect day starts with a walk to a café, and ends with a great movie. I'm always up for a chat about design, tech, or life in general. Feel free to reach out!
