Hey! I’m Eli, a two-time career switcher. I switched from being self-employed to working in corporate tech and doubled my income in less than two years with no prior corporate working experience or college degree!
My diverse background consists of being a child actor appearing on TV on Saturday Night Live, Blue’s Clues and more, a fruitful entrepreneurial career including getting published in Vanity Fair, being given an award at Carnegie Hall, judging photography for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, speaking at the MET Museum and Squarespace’s HQ in New York City and working full-time in corporate tech as a Product Designer.
In addition to working full-time, I mentor aspiring digital product designers online!
