Eric Donnell
Founder & Lead Developer
From chemistry labs to code editors -- building digital experiences for clients across the globe since 2011.
The Story Behind the Forge
In 2011, Eric Donnell established Idea Forge Studios as a web design, e-commerce, and internet marketing firm. Eric has worked with every company size and industry type over the last 17 years, even before Idea Forge Studios. He obtained a BS in Chemistry and a BS in Computer Science from East Stroudsburg University.
After six years of experience as a chemist, he pursued a different path and started his firm. That concludes the third-person discourse.
I created my first website back in 2006 for a friend. They recommended I start designing them instead of following my chemistry dreams. I figured that was crazy, but after building my first site, I fell in love. Now I enjoy working with different industries and trades for every design and learning something new. Currently I have had the pleasure of working with clients from the USA, Ecuador, Italy, Germany, Japan, and other countries.
