About Elisha Coad

I’m a product designer who works across strategy, design, and code. I simplify complex systems into experiences that feel just right.

I grew up between two worlds. I started in computer science, switched into design, then somewhere along the way realized I didn’t have to choose. Product design is where both halves finally fit.

I’ve designed at Apple, John Deere, and most recently co-founded Marky, an AI-powered marketing platform we took from idea to 5k paying customers and $2M in revenue. Now I’m looking to bring that full-stack perspective to a design-forward company that cares about craft and empowering other creators.
