2Advanced Studios came up at the rise of Flash and helped shape the visual language of the early interactive web. What started as a four-person studio grew into a 35-person team, building immersive Flash experiences for top clients around the world - a run that earned a place in the FWA Hall of Fame. Today it's back in its original form as a world-building brand and experimental design platform.

Independent creative director, designer, and motion graphics artist.
Eric Jordan is an award-winning creative director, designer, and motion graphics artist. In 1999 he founded 2Advanced Studios, the world-renowned interactive studio whose work helped define the visual language of the early web and was inducted into the FWA Hall of Fame. .net Magazine named him one of the world's top 20 international designers. As its chief creative officer he has led 2Advanced's creative direction across the landmark V1 to V5 site series and its work for global brands, returning in 2024 as co-CEO to guide its next chapter.
Eric founded 2Advanced and has driven its creative direction ever since - the studio's story and his own are the same story. Across 27+ years he has directed the creative execution of 700+ projects for global brands and Fortune 500 companies... spanning film, broadcast, web, VR, games, motion, and sound. He has been featured on the School of Motion podcast and delivered a 2024 main-stage talk at Digital Design Days in Milan. His interactive work is archived in the Web Design Museum.

Eric is directing and designing multiple rooms of projected motion design for Lauren Greenfield's Social Studies exhibition - including an algorithm simulation and a full-scale replica of a teenager's bedroom - drawn from the Emmy-nominated five-part series (FX, Hulu, Disney+) he also created motion graphics for.
In 2024, 2Advanced rebuilt its landmark V3 "Expansions" site - the FWA "Most Influential Website of the Decade" - not in Flash, but in Rive and React. What began as a two-month experiment became a close, ongoing collaboration that Rive describes as a mutual partnership to help evolve the platform. Eric Jordan now sits on the judging panel for Rive's Impossible UI Challenge ($10K prize pool) alongside Rive CEO Guido Rosso, Adobe's Lee Brimelow, and gskinner's Grant Skinner.
Eric's motion work has been featured in Adobe's "Maxon Collection" (Adobe MAX, 2020) and the After Effects "Master Artist Collection" (2017), with pieces in the Adobe Stock Master Collection.
A long relationship with The FWA - Hall of Fame, FWA Legends, and Digital Pioneers - continues through ongoing collaboration with founder Rob Ford, including the Field Station 02 microsite (2025-26).
