Your team's missing UX expert.
We’re not on the outside looking in. Eric works as part of your team or agency, bringing decades of design and UX experience to guide projects from concept through launch and beyond.
Embedded by design
We bring agency-level experience with the feel of a small, hands-on studio. That means direct collaboration, clear communication, and thoughtful guidance, without layers, handoffs, or noise.
We’ve been designing and building websites since 1998, long before templates, page builders, or shortcuts. That long view helps us focus on what actually matters: clarity, usability, and decisions grounded in reality.
We integrate with your team in whatever way makes the most sense. We understand how products are built, because at some point we've done pretty much every role ourselves: designer, developer, photographer, video editor, writer.
We’re comfortable working closely with developers, navigating constraints, and making smart trade-offs around scope, timeline, and complexity.
What our clients and partners should expect.
Working with us is collaborative, practical, and steady.
You're in experienced hands.
Founded by Eric in 1998, we're a small studio that only expands if the project calls for it, collaborating with a trusted group of long-time agency parters.
How I got here
I'm the founder and UX designer behind Eric Miller Design, personally leading every project from start to finish. I came up alongside the early web, back when sites were coded by hand, and still bring that builder’s mindset to our client work: focused on how things actually get made.
I began shaping Eric Miller Design while also working in-house at BMI, where I spent a decade as their web designer, developer and editor. The role went far beyond screens and code. Working in the music industry meant live shows, fast turnarounds, and wearing whatever creative hat was needed: designer, writer, photographer, editorial staff of MusicWorld magazine, video production, camera crew for a Stevie Wonder interview… you name it. 25 years later, some of this work still lives online.
Some of our earliest client work came out of the industry, building websites for the Songwriters Hall of Fame and designing songbooks (yes, in print) for artists like the Black Eyed Peas and Tenacious D.
During that time, I was also the writer for About.com’s entire graphic design section (when it was a NY Times Company) and served as a Webby Awards judge for the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences. My own 6 Webby honors date back to 2008. Since then, Eric Miller Design evolved with the industry, shifting from entertainment to corporate clients and from hand-coded HTML sites to UX consulting, complex application design and AI-driven workflows.
