New::Human_Err

Activist Campaign 

Design


Due to the unfortunate events of Covid-19, social media platforms such as TikTok, became a few of the many outlets for humanity through these troubling times. As we lost the privilege of roaming around freely, having gatherings, working without a mask, or worrying about getting ill, the desire for contact with others grew immensely, growing our screen times over 100% in a few weeks.

As social media platforms grew, so did the time we spent on them with little knowledge of their side effects as they use behavior studies to keep us attached to their beloved platforms, wasting our mental health, our time, and our privacy.

New::Human_Err is an activist campaign designed around revealing the truth behind the most popular social media apps TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram.

Welcome.US:
Be a Rainbow. Be a Welcomer. 

Co-Producer, 3D Designer, 2D Animator, Cel Editor

Motion


A collaborative mixed-media animation for non-profit Welcome.US bringing awareness to the challenges refugees face on their journey to the USA.

The story follows an Afghan family’s journey to the US, told through their daughter’s memories of her time in Afghanistan, and the troubled events that led to their evacuation. A simple metaphor spoken by Dr. Maya Angelou encapsulates the story: the hopeful glow of rainbow light in the storm, a “rainbow in somebody’s cloud.”
