About
I'm Elad, born and raised in Haifa city. A dad, a type geek and a socialist.
As a kid I got a first-generation iMac that couldn’t run any games—so I spent hours with Photoshop instead. Eventually becoming the go-to designer for nearly everything I was involved with since.
Growing up in a youth movement, I became an educator who uses design to connect and to motivate. I learned to use visuals to build communities, design-think social processes and connect images with big ideas - learning from observation, teaching myself by doing. Over the years, I’ve designed for various social-driven projects with people at heart and goals in mind.
I took it further and started my Master’s in Visual Communication at Bezalel while also designing in tech. I began creating interactive experiences that explore the space between technology and society - some of which have been featured in design and art exhibitions.
After October 7th I pulled back into the social scene - putting effort into developing grassroots community building, leading initiatives and as always - designing.
I’m deeply fascinated by the intersection of tech, people and design, where I hope to discover new ways of making a difference.
These days I'm working on a startup (🤫) and on the lookout for a design role in a product design agency or a company that's working on something groundbreaking, design-first or social at heart.

What needs to be done?
Fill out the applicationand enclose a résumé.
Regardless of the length of lifea résumé is best kept short.
Concise, well-chosen facts are de rigueur.
Landscapes are replaced by addresses,
shaky memories give way to unshakable dates.
Of all your loves mention only the marriage,
of all your children only those who were born.
Who knows you counts more than who you know.
Trips only if taken abroad.
Memberships in what but without why.
Honors, but not how they were earned.
Write as if you’d never talked to yourself
and always kept yourself at arm’s length.
Pass over in silence your dogs, cats, birds,
dusty keepsakes, friends, and dreams.
Price, not worth,
and title, not what’s inside.
His shoe size, not where he’s off to,
that one you pass yourself off as.
In addition, a photograph with one ear showing.
What matters is its shape, not what it hears.
What is there to hear, anyway?
The clatter of paper shredders.
