Hi, I'm Eli!
I'm a UX Designer & Software Engineer at the UCF Center for Distributed Learning, and a senior at UCF studying Visual Communication with a Computer Science minor.
Throughout my life, my interests in animation, graphic design, and technology all came together in the form of adoration for UX Design & Engineering.
I love to not only design, but iterate and implement my ideas and deliver thoughtful, accessible, and intuitive experiences.
I'm a creative at heart, forever and always!
I Love My Community
Some of my favorite moments with the people I love.
I like being involved in my community and doing my best to empower myself and others through technology, especially underrepresented individuals in tech.

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
The Namesake
Jhumpa Lahiri
War and Peace
Leo Tolstoy
Yerba Buena
Nina LaCour
I'm Glad My Mom Died
