From chemistry labs to code editors -- building digital experiences for clients across the globe since 2011.
The Story Behind the Forge
Eric Donnell started Idea Forge Studios in 2009 and incorporated it as Idea Forge Studios LLC in 2011, a web design, e-commerce, and internet marketing firm. Eric has worked with every company size and industry type over the last 17 years. 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.

When I'm not building websites, you'll find me spending time with my beautiful daughter Ember and my wife Eli.
