If Elijah’s name sounds familiar to you, there’s a very good reason for that. An award-winning creative director for One Trick Pony for eleven years, his name has come up multiple times on the show with previous guests. It makes sense that people would look up to Elijah as a mentor, as he’s a talented designer and he originally aspired to be a teacher and a baseball coach while in school before being introduced to creating art on a digital platform. As Elijah says during our discussion, “Design is not only something I love but it’s that thing I like doing when I’m not supposed to be doing it.” Now he is starting a new chapter in his career as an Associate Creative Director for T & P.UX at Comcast and he swings by the Submarine for a chat about having grit, the importance of asking questions and what the Tampa Bay Buccaneers color palette has in common with Calvin Klein underwear.
