Motivated by an interest in visual arts and physics, Eric pursued studies at Carleton University and completed his professional degree at the University of Waterloo, graduating with a Master of Architecture with Commendation in 2009.  Having joined McRobie Architects + Interior Designers Inc. in 2009, Eric participates in all stages of projects with a focus on the early design phase where he produces 3D models and renderings. In his design work Eric looks for a balance of artistic expression and the constraints of building materials.  This focus is echoed in his personal artistic explorations:

I spend much of my personal time immersed in the world of visual art and science. I am an avid painter and I rely on these interests to explore scale and space through the juxtaposition of colours and geometry.
