hello.

A CREATIVE MIND.

A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE.

I'm Erick, a multidisciplinary creative director, strategist, and storyteller with more than 25 years of experience helping brands and organizations find clarity through creativity.

​

My career has taken me across agencies, global brands, startups, and organizations of all sizes. I've led teams, built brands, developed campaigns, and helped turn complex challenges into ideas that connect with people.

​

But what continues to excite me isn't just making great work. It's discovering the right idea in the first place.

​

Sometimes that means building something new. Other times, it's rethinking what's familiar, simplifying a complicated message, or recognizing an opportunity that's been overlooked.

​

I believe the most meaningful creative work begins with a story worth telling. My approach is to uncover that story, shape it with intention, and bring it to life.

​

Whether I'm leading a team, collaborating with specialists, or getting hands-on with the work, I bring curiosity, experience, and a fresh perspective to every challenge.

​

Make it clear. Make it human. Make it matter.

BEYOND THE PORTFOLIO

 

I also lead Macek Creative, an independent Cincinnati creative studio partnering with brands and organizations on strategy, creative direction, design, and production.

Selected brands and organizations I've worked with throughout my career.
