Greetings! I'm Eric Carlsen, a freelance animator and designer with over 15 years of professional experience in the industry. Based in Boston and Maine-grown, I specialize in creating dynamic content for museums, institutions, and experiential media. I blend a passion for storytelling with a versatile expertise in 2D/3D animation & design, spanning a wide range of styles and techniques, and thrive on collaborative endeavors that bring creative minds together.
My work exemplifies a unique mix of left-brain and right-brain thinking, enabling me to handle complex subjects and heavy content with creativity and precision. I love working with clients to help bring their specific vision and goals to life with compelling content.
I created the CG Chatter Podcast and published 33 episodes, covering the art, business, and lifestyle of creating computer graphics, and featuring one-on-one interviews with fellow industry professionals.
Off-duty, I enjoy making music with friends and family, playing games, and goofing around with our two kids.

"For the past 15 years Eric has been one of the first I turn to when a project needs outside GFX, animation, or design help... I know Eric can turn it around and deliver something much better than imagined - and on time...Great communicator, no drama, and no surprises."
