Mediacrafters began in 1999 as a template design brand for personal and small business websites. We have now evolved into a media brand developed by Eric Karl and Jeremy Weinstein, two college students with a passion for technology. We create websites, publications, marketing campaigns, cartoons, write code, and live our lives with a methodology centered around simplicity.
Together, our skills allow us to consult, develop, and design for our customers in the most innovative, usable, standards-compliant, and trendiest of manners. We believe the key to good design is usability - and what’s more usable than something simple?

Master of code
Eric, a Symbolic Systems major at Stanford University, has a knack for writing code with a speciality in artifiical intelligence and cognitive, dynamic language processing. As both an avid gamer and game developer, Eric is an expert of the industry and knows right from wrong regarding its latest trends. If he’s unable to answer your question, he can probably code software to find a solution. In Japanese.When not writing the code that makes two of the most popular recent games have dazzling effects, he enjoys developing efficient algorithms that do not spiral into nested oblivions. He is often forced to hold back a constant annoyance toward programmers who insist on loading and unloading data from memory that isn’t even being drawn on screen.
Eric has actively been involved in the gaming industry, having worked for acclaimed developer Insomniac Games, and others.
