About Eric

I believe design shapes the world and the people who make it.

Eric Brown is Co-Founder and Chief Vision Officer at Whiteboard, where he focuses on helping clients connect the dots between strategic vision and brand expression. Since starting Whiteboard in 2010, Eric has served organizations across all facets of the internet—websites, apps, branding, automation, and advertising—helping over 400 organizations lead digital transformation, end-to-end.

Over his career, Eric has helped steer creative initiatives for clients such as Airbus, NCR, Legacybox, Chick-fil-A, Praxis, Clear, ONE Finance, TED, Justice Defenders, HOPE International, Tennessee Aquarium, Aro, Yale Center for Faith & Culture, Trilith Studios, Wellview, Purposity, Last Mile Health, Steam Logistics, Passion Conferences, Charityvest, and more. Eric’s work has been seen by millions of people, referenced by President Barack Obama, and contributed to over one billion dollars pledged to organizations and causes. Over his career, Eric's work has been featured in Forbes, CNN, 60 Minutes, The New York Times, TODAY Show, People Magazine, and Adobe XD Ideas. His team’s work has instigated new internet design trends (i.e. video backgrounds and parallax design) and won awards including multiple Awwwards, The Webby’s, and more.

In 2017, he launched the Reformation of Internet Manners, an essay and framework designed to help families and schools teach kids how to treat others, online (manners.io). In 2023,  Eric co-authored ROI: Return On Inspiration: A Culture Playbook to Make Your Organization More Productive and More Profitable. 

Eric’s greatest joy is his family; husband to Katie and dad to Ella and Owen. Together, they call Chattanooga, Tennessee home.

Testimonials for Agency

"It’s been so incredible seeing Eric and Taylor overcome obstacles to build a purposeful, people-first agency over the years, and, as Free Agency proves, it all starts with their mindset. I’m thrilled they have finally taken the time to document the framework that has led to a portfolio of fantastic work. Readers will be able to find their own path to live a purposeful life.”

Uli Becker - Business Executive, Investor, and Former CEO, Reebok

"This book is about more than those who prefer to be self-employed; it describes the freedom, power and perspective of being in control of your life and your career, no matter what job you have. Eric and Taylor explain the ways people abdicate this control . . . and the resulting effects. But they brilliantly point readers to the vision of genuine fulfillment through personal responsibility. Read this book, and give a copy to a friend. It’s transformative." 

Rudy Cline-Thomas.- Founder & Managing Partner MASTRY, Inc.
