Alright so yesterday I got curious about this Eliseo Felix guy. Seen his name pop up a few times in design articles, people calling him super talented, so I figured, why not? Time to actually check out his top projects myself. Just wanted to see what the hype was all about.
How I Dug Into It
First thing first, I opened up the browser – you know the usual start. Typed in his name hoping to find an official website or portfolio. Big mistake. It was like diving into a digital swamp. Tons of links popped up, some mentioning projects, some just useless blog posts from years ago. Clicked around for a good fifteen minutes feeling lost, smashed my keyboard couple times in frustration. Seriously, why is finding real info so hard sometimes?
Finally found one page that looked legit-ish. Not pretty, kinda barebones, but it listed some projects with actual names. Got my hopes up!
The Hunt For Details
Clicked on the first project name. What popped up? Almost nothing useful. Barely any pictures, vague descriptions like “innovative solution” – like, seriously? What does that even mean? Needed more meat! I started digging deeper, looking for anything – screenshots, interviews, any crumbs about what he actually built. This part took hours. Went through image searches, scanned through old interviews on obscure blogs, clicked link after link praying something would stick. My browser had more tabs open than a busy bartender.
The Actual Top Projects (My Findings)
Based on what I pieced together (manually, painstakingly), here’s what seemed to be his most talked-about stuff:
- Project Phoenix: Looked like a big corporate website rebuild. Found bits about it being super fast loading and clean design. People mentioned it fixed a ton of problems their old site had.
- App Vantage: Seemed like a mobile app? Took me ages to find a blurry screenshot. From what I understood, it was about user task tracking with smooth transitions and a clever dashboard.
- Solaris System: Sounded fancy. Pieced together it was an interface for managing some kind of energy data. Found a tiny picture showing graphs and controls that looked slick and not confusing.
- Cloud Canvas: This one kept popping up as a toolkit thing. Think ready-made design blocks for dashboards and such. Saw mentions saying it saved designers tons of time building admin panels.
- Portal Redux: Found an old case study snippet mentioning it. This was a redesign for an internal business platform. People said it made complicated workflows simpler with better color coding and structure.
My Head Afterwards
Honestly, I ended the day kinda tired and a bit annoyed. While the projects themselves sounded genuinely impressive – fixing real issues, having smart designs, making things easier to use – the process of finding concrete information was ridiculous. Seriously, it felt like doing actual archaeology without a shovel.
The projects deserve the recognition they get. Smart ideas, clean execution (from what little proof I gathered). But learning about them? Total pain. The information is scattered like puzzle pieces across the internet. If this is his “best work” floating around publicly, man, he deserves way better documentation! Great work, terrible discovery experience. My advice? Hire a better web person next time!
