About Me
Hi, I am Eric Curtis,the creative director, designer and coder at RGB Design Studio. I have been actively self-employed for over 15 years in interactive and website development and I am currently living in Portland, Oregon. My passion lies in the merging of thoughtful design, the client’s message and ease of use for the end user. I am also a strong advocate for web-standards and open source solutions.The Studio
RGB Design Studio was founded by Eric Curtis in 1996 after graduating from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. In 2007 I relocated to the beautiful Northwest city of Portland, Oregon. Over the years I have provided my clients with a wide range of solutions including websites, illustrations, interactive CDs, motion graphics and 3D modeling. I am currently focusing on web projects that merge great design and coding.While RGB Design Studio is a sole proprietorship business, over the last decade I have learned that many projects require the skills of more than one person. For example, a good copywriter can be the difference between two well designed sites. I can provide the recommendations and management to make sure that your project is a success.
