About
My name is Elisabetta Ugliano (but everyone just calls me Betta), 2D animator & Illustrator currently based in Bristol.
​
​
​
I grew up in Sardegna (Italy) with a pencil practically glued to my hand, making silly drawings to share with my friends at school and watching cartoons while sprawled on my nonna's table. After ending my studies in graphic design in my hometown, my evergrowing curiosity for the animation craft led me to study Animation at the University of Gloucestershire, graduating in 2018 and moving to Bristol to work as a freelancer just the year after. Animation has always been a source of joy for me, now my goal is to spread that joy and let other people discover and appreciate the medium in all its different ways.
Ciao!
