  • When Eric was a teenager, his mother asked him to fit her new collection of china into a buffet cabinet. He embraced the challenge and today equates the enjoyment of that task to the puzzle of neatly fitting rooms into an architectural structure. Eric received his Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Texas in 1983. In his senior year, he was hired by the Texas Historical Commission as an architectural consultant with the state-sponsored Main Street Project, assisting small Texas towns in restoring their historic downtown buildings. This influenced Eric’s decision to relocate to the small town of Fredericksburg where he married, started a family and continued to work for a local architectural firm. In 1993, he went off on his own and founded Mustard Architects.
