i’m elia, a software designer. i’ve been creating digital things since i was 13. i started with drawing, then moved into sound production, and found my way to product design at 18.

now i design products that make complex things feel obvious — without sanding off their character. i care about the whole product: the job it does, the context it lives in and the feeling it leaves behind.

offline, i’m a gym rat, a dacha enjoyer, and a lover of mountain aesthetics.

alongside work, i’m currently building:

• -.<contextbox— a macOS app; ai & human task context space and everything around it
• nodumbmode skills— a design mental model for agents, distilled into skills
