Meet Nelo-Nelo: The Talented Nigerian World Builder & Graphic Designer
Previously, we highlighted The Mad Rabbits and her passion for gaming, creating engaging content, and inspiring others to pursue their goals in VR.
This time we are highlighting “Nelo-Nelo”, the talented owner of the digital agency Nelo 2 8 LLC.
Nelo has worked on over 30 extended reality (XR) projects, both inside and outside of Meta’s Horizon Worlds. These projects have included group initiatives like Wall Street Wizards Academy, Pitch Park & Tea, and WP Studios' projects. Currently, Nelo and her team are working on Aleefia Winery, the very 1st winery in Meta’s Horizon Worlds. There, they feature wine, craft beer and spirit brands and provide an immersive metaverse experience through events. Currently, they feature the IRL wine brand, P. Harrell Wines. You can join them at 10pm EST every wednesday to enjoy the poetry and music performances. They have recurring talents such as: JFishJFish, Bluedakey, and WritersPen to name a few. Of course, we can’t forget their outrageously hilarious host, KattPhish. However with KattPhish hosting the event, viewer discretion is advised.
When we spoke to Nelo, she shared her reasons for venturing into the world of VR. ““As a creative, with a background in UX/UI, web development, I decided to try my hand at virtual reality because it's the next evolution of the internet. My journey began designing for companies in Decentraland with Unity. I was very intrigued by the way we could design inside of our VR headsets when I saw Meta Connect in 2021”. As someone with a background in UX/UI and web development, Nelo was drawn to the immersive and interactive nature of virtual reality, which she believes represents the next stage in the evolution of the internet. After witnessing the potential of VR firsthand through Meta Connect in 2021, Nelo was inspired to follow this new direction and explore the creative possibilities of this emerging technology. With a deep commitment to serving clients in the VR/XR space, Nelo and her team at Nelo 2 8 are dedicated to bringing their unique artistic perspective to every project they undertake.
Nelo is currently working on an exciting new project that involves creating a therapist's office called soundBoard. This project will provide a space where people can consult with certified experts, offering a unique and immersive therapy experience. Nelo's track record of creating engaging and interactive virtual environments will ensure that soundBoard is a great experience and valuable tool for clients and users. We’ll definitely be keeping an eye for more amazing initiatives from Nelo as she continues to be a positive influence in the VR community.
