About Me
This is what people say about me… 
Martin Houlihan, Designer, Bebo/AOL
“Elia is one of the best designers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with and not only that, he is also a brilliant guy to have around when you hit a roadblock and need ideas for a design. Elia was like a mentor to me when I worked at Bebo/AOL and whenever I got stuck with something he was always on hand to help out and did so on many occasions. He is also a top class dude and exceptionally nice and friendly. We also both love gadgets which rocks! A++ guy in work and beyond!!!”
Dom Tillson, UK Sales Manager, Bebo
“The digital world is always at the cutting edge of creativity, and Elia’s work is at the cutting edge of the digital world. His range of work is awesome and he always delivers refreshing concepts that go beyond the brief. If he’s ever on the market snap him up, before someone else does…”
Ivan Miles, Principal Database Administrator, AOL
“Elia is a smart, highly technical, capable designer. He works extraordinarily hard, always willing to help and dig in. He’s a great guy to ask when you need assistance with a problem with great interpersonal skills. A+”
Sean Coleman, Executive Producer, Digital Studios, Endemol
“Elia is an innovative designer who can create beauty within the most rigid constraints. Flexible, enthusiastic and talented as a designer and manager of a design team, it was always a pleasure to work with him. I hope to work with Elia many times in the future.”
Deborah King, Account Manager, Bebo
“Working with Elia has been such an enjoyable experience. Elia is 110% passionate about everything that he does, from conception of a design idea right through to the end design product. His ability to think outside the box and create innovated designs has elevated numerous campaigns that we’ve worked on together.”
Jose Hernandez, Senior Software Engineer, Bebo
“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.”
Ziv Navoth, VP Marketing & Business Development, Bebo (colleague)
“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.”
Sarah Gavin, VP Communications, AOL
“Elia is a genius! Creative, efficient, tech savvy and dedicated – he never fails to deliver and always with his own inimitable flare. He is warm, amiable and a true team player. I have worked with Elia for over 2.5 years now and in that time I have seen him go from strength to strength.”
Rachel O’Connell, VP AOL, Chief Security Officer, Bebo
“It was an enormous pleasure to work with Elia, who is, without doubt, one of the most talented designers in the web 2.0 space right now! He has extraordinary vision and can translate complex, multi-faceted ideas into stunningly succinct graphical representations.”
