Erik Jamison-Ekeling

Product/Industrial Designer | Student 

My passion for humanitarian design led me to begin my college career as an Architectural student at the University of Minnesota. During my sophomore year I switched to Product Design and truly found my passion. I want to showcase the work into which I put so much time, effort, and creativity. Thank you for visiting and please feel free to contact me.

In the wake of the George Floyd murder, I started thinking of ways that I could further the Black Lives Matter / Social Justice movement, especially in my hometown of Circle Pines, MN. I wanted to tie my love for hockey, an incredibly discriminating and privileged sport, to my efforts as well. I set up a donation initiative and fundraising effort to help foster inclusivity, access, and opportunities for BIPOC families who have been, and continue to be, discriminated in society and sport.
