Elijah is a Chicago born Design Strategist, currently practicing at Gensler.
Old age and treachery always overcomes youth and skill.
I believe the most powerful ideas aren’t always the loudest — they’re the ones with layers, patience, and a bit of trouble making.
As a strategist and designer, I look for the undercurrents — the stories hiding in plain sight, the tension between legacy and ambition. My work lives at the intersection of brand, space, and culture, using narrative and design to shape how people move, think, and feel. I’m drawn to projects that reward a second glance — where the meaning deepens, and the message endures.
