Eric Charles


About me:

Eric Charles is a Lexington, KY-based photographer, videographer, graphic designer, 3D modeler, and web designer, with a background that spans both computer science and fine art.

After leaving high school with a focus on robotics and computer science, Eric attended the University of Kentucky, where he studied computer science and coding before ultimately pursuing a degree in Art Studio. His work there centered on digital art, 3D animation, and finding ways to bring CGI into traditional studio practice.

Since graduating, Eric has worked primarily with small businesses and startups, taking on roles where building a creative department from the ground up was part of the job. Past clients and employers include Om Vapors, Archway Biopharma, Lumia Stream, Complex Machining, and Everything Rocks Masonry. He currently serves as Marketing Manager at Central KY Motorsports, where he oversees their social media accounts, photography, videography, VFX, graphic design, and web.
