Changing the world. One mind at a time.

(TLDR) Our former Interactive Media Design apprentice, Anastasia Calia, has been honoured at the Viscom Education Award for her outstanding graduation score of 5.7/6. We’re incredibly proud of her achievement and of what it represents: talent, resilience, and the power of creating inclusive pathways for neurodivergent young professionals.

Celebrating young creative talents
Our former apprentice, Anastasia Calia, was recognised at the Viscom Education Award for her exceptional graduation result: a 5.7 (out of 6). For context: that score is rare. Very rare. And she earned every decimal.

Anastasia joined the twofold academy as an Interactive Media Design apprentice, and from the beginning, it was clear: this is someone who loves to grow and become someone. With a sharp eye, sharp mind, and creative instincts well beyond her years, she became one of those talents you instantly know will go far.

And she has.

What this means for Us

Achievements like Anastasia’s are more than individual wins, they’re proof of what happens when young neurodivergent people are given the right environment, the right support, and the right trust to grow. At twofold, our academy exists for exactly that purpose. We believe in pathways, opportunities and structure that supports.This is what our academy is built on:

  • Creating space: Where different brains can work their way, not “the expected way.”
  • Building confidence: Because many neurodivergent young people arrive with skills, but not always with belief in themselves.
  • Nurturing talent: With real client work, real mentorship, and real responsibility.
  • Watching growth happen: From shy first steps in design tools to award-winning outcomes like our Hofkino.

When you put the right ecosystem around neurodivergent talent, things like this happen.

A Moment worth applauding

Standing on that stage, being honoured among the best creative graduates of the year, Anastasia wasn’t just representing herself. She was representing:

  • the power of inclusive education
  • the resilience autistic people have
  • the potential of neurodivergent young professionals
  • and the future of the creative industry

We couldn’t be prouder and we couldn’t be more excited to see where she goes next.
