I'm Eric Gerdes. I started in agency work at J. Walter Thompson, led creative in-house at Schlumberger and Entrust Energy, and now run eGerdes Media in the Houston area. I start with your goals, then build the brand, campaign or website to reach them. I've done that for Inspire Solar, WattKarma, the Smilin' Rylen Foundation and others.
WattKarma: a marketplace UX that takes shoppers from ZIP code to signed contract in one session.
Smilin' Rylen Foundation: a warm, human identity and a site that puts donations and events up front.
The Pinch Pit: a bold identity that reads instantly on trucks, tents, menus and screens.
NAVC Lifestyle: one Webflow hub that recruits new sellers and supports active ones.
Symbio Wellness: education-first product pages built to earn trust in a crowded category.
Sumenti Jewels: a minimal, image-forward Shopify store that lets the jewelry do the selling.
Carvers Cup Creations: a playful, personal eCommerce brand with real-world product mockups.
I work with business owners and the teams behind them. Every project starts the same way: what does your business need to grow, and what's the simplest way to get there?
Demand generation. Campaign ideas, landing pages and ads built around one clear message, so the right people notice and act.
Brand and identity. A look and a voice people remember and trust, used the same way everywhere your name shows up.
Websites. Fast, findable sites that explain what you do and make it easy for people to reach you.
Creative direction. Leading the visual side of a team, a launch or a campaign, from the first sketch to the final piece.
Not sure which of these you need? Tell me about your business and we'll figure it out together.

2. Picture it. I sketch the idea so we can both see it before anyone spends time or money building it.
3. Make it. I build it with you or alongside your team, and stay close until it works.
