Hello! I'm Michael Elias.

​

I'm a computer science graduate with a strong interest in animation, and I love applying my skills in both areas with marketing.

​

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Spring 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and completed minors in Animation and Interactive, Gaming, & Immersive Media. I was also part of LMU's exclusive M-School community, specializing in content creation.

​

Professionally, I’m passionate about combining computer science and animation as a technical artist. I enjoy enhancing my design skills through marketing, as it lets me approach art with the strategic focus that marketing brings.

​

I’m dedicated to balancing both the creative and technical sides of my work. I thrive on developing ideas that inspire me to dive deeper into research and bring those ideas to life. My goal is to find a role where I can help bridge design and tech departments, ensuring both are equally represented in the creative process.

​

And a fun fact: my favorite form of 2D animation is pixel animation! Be sure to check out the pixel animation section of my portfolio—it’s something I love working on in my free time.
