“Eli was recommended to me by my awesome UX bootcamp instructor and I am so happy we met. He is proof that if you put in the work and adapt to your environment, your life can change in such a short time. I was overwhelming myself with trying to come up with a strategy to land a job and his advice was honest, encouraging and left me with less weight on my shoulders than I had before our meeting. I have a better sense of direction now and I’m so so grateful! Thanks Eli!”
“Eli Dagostino was a captivating speaker at the Squarespace headquarters in New York City. He addressed our local community of web designers like a seasoned pro. Eli is an expert adviser when addressing those wishing to grow their brands. I observed members of the audience taking fastidious notes and photos as Eli‘s slides progressed, and people were lining up for his Q&A afterward. I call that a success! Working with Eli throughout the planning process was more like working with a close friend. We brainstormed the programming together and we were in constant communication leading up to the event. Eli custom tailored the presentation to fit our needs and was dedicated in his pursuit of powerfully impacting our audience. I would undoubtedly recommend Eli as a speaker.”
