I'm Elena Jariego, a visual designer specialized in the animation industry. I started working for El Exilio S.L, where I was able to participate as matte painter in the CosmoCaixa documentary ''Postales de otros mundos''. Then I moved into animation, working in ''Sultana's Dream'' as character designer, in ''Black Butterflies'' as concept artist, in ''Norbert'' as concept artist and matte painter and in ''Mümu'' as art director.

Since then, I've become interested in story design as the foundation with all movies are built. This new path brought me to discover matte painting on a deeper level with Igor Staritsin, and, to be mentored by Mark C. Holmes in Cinematic Design Thinking.

My ultimate Goal is to develop my knowledge to make informed choices to do better illustrations, better design, and in fact, to make efective stories based on a creative and human intention.
