Eric was a pleasure to work with at Preferred One. He is a tremendous creative force and was key player to our success as a company. His creative designs brought ingenuity and a fresh take on old concepts. Working with Eric allowed us to secure significant business with Fortune 100 companies by delivering the WOW factor every time.

I was extremely pleased with the design work that Eric did for the Canada’s Walk of Fame Commemorative Magazines. His creative was sophisticated, impactful and innovative, and the profiles beautifully portrayed the unique personalities of our extraordinary Inductees and award recipients. Eric was very professional and accommodating throughout the entire project, and a great pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Eric for any creative or design project and look forward to future collaborations.

During my brief but productive turn as editorial partner with designer Eric McBain, I found him to be imaginative, inquisitive, alarmingly inventive and a true calming influence. McBain can think on his feet; a talent that is more than essential in the fast-paced design world. Under the quiet exterior lies a roiling creative talent that is both evocative and elegant. I spent an entire day shooting with him in an open and empty Rogers Centre, and it was one of the most Zen experiences of my career. I look forward to our next enterprise.

Eric is a great designer. We’ve worked on dozens of projects over the last few years, from launching magazines to coming up with new approaches for existing print and digital titles. He’s fast, creative, undramatic and always great to work with.

Having worked with Eric over the past 4 years, I can highly recommend the creativity, thoughtfulness and professionalism he brings to every project. I look forward to our continued association.
