Motion Graphics was the first love that brought me into the world of Advertising.

The idea was to meet students where they are, using familiar faces and relatable storytelling to show why their input matters.
Built for everything from in-school viewing to social sharing, the piece helped turn a nationwide data effort into something that felt human, relevant, and worth participating in.
