Anna Perela is a Chartered Architect and Head of Planning Production at Cityscape Digital in London.

From her teenage years she realised the power of the single Image, when -drawn to photography- she experimented with various techniques and formats. Her fascination with this field grew stronger during her studies as an architect in the National Technical University of Athens. The need to convey and present her ideas, led her to arch-viz, through abstract illustrations, 2d drawings and renderings. Realising that this process is more than a tool, but a passion and an art form, she enrolled in the State of Art Academy in 2013. After working as a project Architect and Visualiser for more than 5 years in Greece, she moved to London to focus on her passion.

She worked at Squint/Opera for 3 years as a Senior 3d artist. There, surrounded by like-minded people and inspiring artists, she had the chance to get actively involved with every stage of the visualisation process: image planning, 3d modelling, rendering and post-production, and experiment with versatile visual styles.

After years leading high profile projects for Museums, competitions and master plans,she joined Cityscape in 2018 .as a Senior Visualiser. Not long after, she became Head of Planning Production, working closely with some of the biggest architectural practices, developers and consultants in the UK . She manages a team of artists and technicians, covering the full spectrum of images and services that could accompany a planning application in the UK, from early feasibility studies to post submission support. She maintains standards and working practices within the team, aiming to mentor, support and lead by example.
