Eric has also created corporate marketing and media (Microsoft, Starbucks, WaMu, AT&T, among others).
In 2000 Eric partnered with his wife, Holly Taylor, as a principal in Byrd Productions, and as a Director and Editor for the company. He started out in the film and video business as co-owner of Bent Nail Productions, where he directed projects for clients such as R.E.I., Columbia Sportswear, and Seattle Arts Museum/African American Heritage Museum.

With these companies, Eric was post supervisor/editor for programs airing on every major network station as well as Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Lifetime, Bravo and KCTS and for clients such as Microsoft, Compaq, Discovery Health Channel and Clorox.
