Captivated by animation from a young age, Noella Ukpe-Roberts (she/her) has learned the impact visual design has in driving powerful storytelling and captivating audiences. As a Nigerian-American, Noella has also seen first-hand how films as short as 30-second advertisements or as long as a feature-length movie can bridge a gap between different cultures.

By studying Advertising at Boston University, Noella hopes to discover the underlying strategic and creative methods that a brand, personality, or film uses to captivate their target audiences. With prior experience in social media marketing, graphic design, and art direction, Noella has accumulated skills in Canva and Adobe Creative Suite, and is always ready to learn about new design software.

After returning from an internship for Warner Bros. Discovery in Los Angeles, Noella has returned with more experience and clarity. As she finishes up her final year at BU, Noella is ready to make an impact in the media and advertising landscape as a creative professional.
