One trick pony? How about a hundred-trick unicorn?

Hey! I’m Eliaz (he/they), a Black queer art director, designer, and creative technologist with a flair for concept-driven storytelling that sticks. I specialize in turning bold, unexpected ideas into campaigns and creative experiences that make people laugh, cry, or see their world differently.

With roots in tech and design and a growing passion for advertising, I’m driven by the desire to craft emotionally resonant, idea-led work that breaks through the noise. Whether I’m building out a campaign, directing a shoot, or prototyping a wacky interactive experience, I aim to create work that connects and sticks the landing!

I’m currently in my fourth year of a B.A. in Design at the University of San Francisco, where I also minor in Computer Science and Advertising.

When I’m not brainstorming new campaigns or visuals, I become possessed by the living spirit of Lin-Manuel Miranda, directing and performing show tunes on stage for audiences. I also act as a co-captain for a decades-old improv team. Ask me about it!

(No, really, I love to talk about it.)
