About

Hi, I’m Maryam Elmi, a creative 2D artist and educator based in Toronto, Ontario. I specialize in illustration, animation fundamentals, and digital design, with a love for visual storytelling and cozy, expressive art that invites viewers in.

I’ve guided students through animation and storytelling concepts and enjoy bringing projects to life through collaboration, iteration, and thoughtful feedback. I’m excited to keep learning new tools and techniques to grow in game development and visual development workflows.
