From storybook-style character animation to data-driven motion graphics for investigative journalism, this work spans animated storytelling across education, editorial, and social media.
2D Animations
“Working on My Dreams”
A 2D animated music video encouraging kids to believe that hard work and discipline can help them achieve their dreams. Characters were designed within an existing world’s established style, brought to life through fully original animation. (Music redacted due to copyright.)
My role: I conceptualized the story, designed the characters, created all visual assets, and animated the piece using Adobe Animate.
The Wind, the Cloud, and the Rain
A 3.5-minute storybook-style animation for Pre-K students, built from the ground up—from early character concepts through final animation. (Audio redacted due to copyright.)
My role: I oversaw the project from initial production through final delivery, designing character concepts, drawing storyboards, creating all visual assets in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and animating the piece in Adobe After Effects.
