Hello! I’m Nela.
I’m an animator and artist, with a degree in Creative Media & Visual Communications.

I am a Bachelor of Arts graduate with a 2:1 in Creative Media & Visual Communications (2022) awarded by Manchester Metropolitan University.
My course included two years specific to 2D Animation and a top-up year alongside Graphic Design students.
I have worked on a brief from the digital transformation company - Kin + Carta, a brief from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, and a project for the young people’s mental health charity - 42nd Street, and others!
I was Vice President of the Students’ Union for two years. Which was an incredibly fun and rewarding job at the Higher Education provider - UCEN Manchester.
I love all kinds of animation, my degree focused on After Effects motion graphics, I love bringing my illustration skills into my projects, and a style I would like to experiment more with is stop-motion.
I grew up in Spain, completing my primary education there, before studying in Britain. I am fluent in both Spanish and English!
After my A levels I took a gap year and volunteered in Nicaragua for three months with Raleigh International, where, in a team of volunteers, I helped young entrpreneurs in rural areas learn about business and apply for start-up funding.
I completed a year of Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool before changing my career path entirely and taking up the Animation course in Manchester.
