TESTIMONIALS
ZIV NAVOTH CMO @ TOUCHCAST AI
Elia isn’t a good designer. Good designers deliver what you expect from them on time and on budget. Great designers anticipate what you need. They come to you with ideas and perspectives you would have never considered. They finish projects before schedule and under budget. They’re passionate about what they do to the point that it’s infectious. When you look at the work of a great designer all you keep asking yourself is “dude – how did you do that?” Elia is that kind of designer – a great designer. And you’d be crazy not to use him.
BEN PEARSON SENIOR ANDROID ENGINEER @ EASYPARK
I had the pleasure of working with Elia at Syft. It was immediately obvious how talented and passionate he is around design, and he just continued to impress me as time moved on. He’s a real team player, and can balance perfection with pragmatism well. He’s brought a new freshness to the mobile apps, and has set them on a path for further improvement. I highly recommend Elia – he’s a valuable asset to any team that’s lucky enough to have him.
JOSE HERNANDEZ STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER @ NEXTROLL
Elia is an exceptional designer who can bring often vaguely defined concepts to reality with minimal direction. His expertise is in the execution of advertising design for social media, but he is equally proficient with UI – in the early days of Bebo he helped design (and redesign) the visual basis for several new and existing products. Elia is a proven workhorse who always exceeds expectations under tight deadlines and impossible turn around times. Most importantly, Elia has the right attitude to encourage a team to succeed, he is what I would call a “world class” player. I would be delighted to work with him again.
