UI/UX Designer & Frontend Developer

Hi! I'm Eli, a designer and developer who loves creating beautiful, functional digital experiences. I combine my background in UX design with frontend development skills to bridge the gap between design and code. I believe the best products come from understanding both sides of the process.

I Love to Read!

Hover over a cover to see the title.

I've been an avid reader since I was young — it was honestly one of the main ways I taught myself English. There's something about getting completely lost in a story that never gets old. My taste leans toward literary fiction and the occasional intimidatingly long classic (yes, I finished War and Peace). A few of my current favorites are below.

Circe

Madeline Miller
