Bill Erickson
New Media Entrepreneur

Who am I?

I'm a designer, a photographer, a consultant, a college student, a skiier, a net native, a theatre fanboy, and an Australian (if living there for three years counts). Here's some articles about me.

I have a coworking space in Downtown Bryan called The Creative Space, where I'm working on Erickson Media Group, Activist Apparel, and a few other projects.

I'm also one of the founders of the BIL Conference, a free unconference run in conjunction with TED.

You can also find me on flickr, twitter, facebook, del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Natuba, Upcoming.org, and Netflix.
