Michael Ekker
Intermediate Technical Artist @ UP360
Toronto, Canada

I am a Technical Artist originally from Whitby, Ontario, Canada. I have always been creative and have had a profound love for world building. From stop motion animated shorts, to creating my own VR game, I have always looked to experiment with design and expand my knowledge.

I completed my Bachelors of Information Technology in Interactive Multimedia Design at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. After a few years of travel and personal development within the 3D Art world I decided to further my official training at Seneca College in Toronto, Ontario. In their Game Art and Animation graduate program I honed my skills as both a 3D Generalist and a Technical Artist.
