Hi, my name is Elieser Puffelis, but everyone calls me Elie (El-Lee). Growing up I always wanted to be an architect (probably where my love for Legos started). After high school, I attended community college and took a couple of architecture classes. As time went on, I explored other interests like photography, graphic design, and music. At this point, I had picked up so many skills along my journey. However, I was at a crossroads debating what I wanted for a career.

Eventually, I transferred to San Diego State University and majored in computer science. After 3 years of hard work, I got my bachelor's degree 🙌🏻. Even up to this point I still had no clue what UI/UX was, but what I did know, is I always found myself volunteering to do the front-end design for all my group projects 😅. Maybe I was just searching for the perfect combination of logic and creativity. Eventually, I learned about product design, and it's safe to say I haven't looked back since.
