Kat Navarro
Animator
Kat is a multidisciplinary animator. Her passions in animation are narrative storytelling, process, and community. She is constantly exploring various visual languages and techniques so she can work on diverse narratives and concepts.

Michael Tan
Assistant Editor & Animator
Michael enjoys the journey of shaping stories. He is always in search for the right moments and learning new skills along the way. Michael’s favorite things about video editing and animation are the endless possibilities of presenting stories and how a simple cut, a change of pace, or a motion graphic can transform a whole story. He is always eager to help, collaborate with and learn from the people around him.
Two of Kellee’s favorite things are animation and getting to work collaboratively on animation projects. She loves discussing and bringing life to projects that have the power to connect strongly with others. In her work, she likes to focus on characters and finding ways to tell stories with their movement and design. Kellee’s passion for art is driven by experimentation, so she’s always up for learning new techniques to drive her animations forward to the next level.
Ezra’s favorite thing about animation is the way it lets us bridge the world we know with the imaginative worlds we have yet to explore. He is always seeking exciting new ways he can use the mediums of animation to grow as a storyteller, and being part of the ELM team constantly elevates that passion to new levels. In Ezra’s work, he particularly loves tapping into his fine arts background to create unique painterly styles with rich textures and color. As a lifelong lover of creative writing, he knows few greater thrills than bringing inner visions of characters, landscapes, and stories to tangible life.
