Risky Business
Risky Business is a Business Insider series that dives into the world of dangerous jobs throughout the globe. Working directly with producers, I had to find ways to illustrate the inner workings of these risky jobs and not diminish the seriousness of them.
Risky Business: Toxic Tofu
I was the lead designer and animator for the Toxic Tofu video. My animations were used to emphasize the relationship between Indonesia’s tofu and (toxic) waste, and how microplastics can be found within the tofu. The illustrations portrayed how trash has become a part of everyday life in the world of tofu making and the unfortunate consequences that can come from it.
Risky Business: Sandstone Mining
I was the lead designer and animator on the Sandstone mining video as well. There were 5 total animations I took on by myself, each vastly different than the last. It was a challenge finding appropriate ways to tell the story visually, and it took various rounds of trial and error, but in the end, it was a fun challenge to face. These animations tell the story of a modern-day slavery system that workers are stuck in and how it is impossible to get out of it.
