Elli is a fourth year (Senior) student at Maine College of Art & Design based in Portland, Maine, but hails from Connecticut. She is an Animation & Game Art major who specializes in 2D character animation, storyboarding, and digital illustration. 

 

She's always had a passion for character work and drawing in general, from the time she was constantly bombarding her elementary school teachers and friends with comics drawn in composition notebooks. From a young age, much of her inspiration comes from folklore, mythology and fantasy, with a constant theme of female empowerment and teamwork.

​

She is currently working on her Thesis Film, Sweet Tooth.
