A little about me.
Have a quick overview on how my brain is structured with this condensed description of myself.
Long story short
My name is Eric "Rikzillo" Lafrenière (he/him). For the past 12 years, I have worked and developed my skills in the design and advertising industries. With my large range of experience and talents gathered from outside the design world, I’m more than your average freelance web and graphic designer. I focus on delivering quality web or graphic products, while establishing a solid and professional relationship with my clients. I am passionate in finding ingenious solutions that show results. In my spare time, I like to draw (I’m working on my first graphic novel with my buddy Michael!), drink matcha tea, learn a new beat, hunt for my next-best backpack, and travel with my lovely wife.
Fun facts
I’ve played drums and percussions for the past 20 years.
I am currently working on my first graphic novel.
I’m always craving a delicious cup of matcha tea.
I have a strange & intense passion for backpacks.
