As long as he can remember, Eli has had a love for everything weird, grim, and ridiculous nurtured by a lifelong passion for comics and cartoons. Specializing in Character, Story, and Prop Design, Eli’s process thrives in a collaborative team setting, using iteration, critique, and input in order to reach clear, distinct, and memorable designs for each project. As an artist, he is fascinated by every step of the animation process and designs his characters with animation in mind, keeping the finished look of the project in mind from the beginning of the design process. Whether the style of the project is set or in the blue sky phase, Eli excels in exploration, acting, special poses, expressions, and turnarounds. Eli has experience working in different production styles, scales, and pipelines, and his love for story, animation, humor, and horror continues to inspire every design.
