Emotive, character-driven animation for IHRB

I worked with the Institute for Human Rights & Business to create a short animated film shining a light on the exploitation of migrant workers worldwide. From concept and storyboard to style tests, design, and animation, I guided the project every step of the way.

Working within IHRB’s migrant workers program color palette, I developed a stripped-back, handmade illustration style that humanises the story while keeping the message powerful.

Check out the full animation below, along with a selection of final frames, character GIFs, and storyboards.
