ELAINA BUFFKIN

PIPELINE ARTIST

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I am an artist + designer specializing in draftsmanship and the 2D animation pipeline. I craft a unique visual language to connect with my audiences through logic-based design choices, found aesthetics, and charming, illustrative style. Among my freelance escapades, I have been a part of several independent short films as a background artist, animator, and concept artist. As a studio-trained artist, I don't shy away from a new challenge to make striking visuals. I'm currently working out of Orlando, Florida while I finish my MFA in Animation & VFX, but I am accustomed to collaborating across time zones for freelance projects. 

 

In my free time, you can find me practicing yoga, learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or playing ping pong.

Shoot me a message if you're looking for animation, design, or someone to think outside of the box!
