Digital Tides is a World Bank immersive story about a decade of digital transformation across the Pacific, and how connectivity is creating jobs, strengthening economies and opening new opportunities for island communities. We designed and animated the visual layer of the story, turning data and development outcomes into an illustrated, motion-driven narrative.

I led the creative direction and visual design, starting from the script and data to define the look, palette and illustration style. Assets were illustrated in Illustrator and animated in After Effects, iterating with the client through review rounds until final delivery.
