young people and AI
2D vector animation / 5 episodes
In the early ages of AI, back in 2024 when the wide audience just found out about it's powers, Youth Partnership thought to explain better to their audience its risks and benefits.
Together with Picturise we created for the them a series of five episodes, each dedicated to young people, youth workers, youth policy makers and to how regulated AI is.
My mission: creating storyboards, the illustration and directing the video production. The series can be found on Youth Partnership YouTube channel and on their website.
Script and project management: Picturise

empowering change makers
2D vector animation / Duration 1.4 minutes
The European Commission and the Council of Europe are working together through Youth Partnership on research, youth policy and youth work. Youth Partnership works as a think tank and they have developed over time a vast bank of resources that can be accessed by those interested in the youth field.
The animation empowers "the change makers" to educate themselves and grow with the help of the resources available on the Youth Partnership web page. Under the motto "Let's make a change together" Youth Partnership empowers those that are driving change for the young people of Europe.

EFTA & singapore boosting digital
2D animation and video editing / Duration 2.5 minutes
Creative Direction & Project Management: EFTA–Singapore Digital Economy Agreement To mark the historic launch of the Digital Economy Agreement negotiations between the EFTA States and Singapore, EFTA commissioned a 2.5-minute global announcement video.
Serving as the Creative Director and Project Manager, I oversaw the production from concept to final delivery. I conceptualized the visual narrative, drafted the comprehensive storyboard, and illustrated all 2D graphic assets. To bring the project to life, I worked in close, iterative collaboration with a dedicated motion designer—directing the animation style, pacing, and mixed-media integration to ensure the final piece met the prestigious communication standards required for international economic diplomacy.

Child protection policy
2D animation / Duration 2 minutes
The animation "Child protection policy" inspires teachers and educators to safeguard children's rights and safety. The client developed a free guide that teaches educators how to safely work with children and how to respond to any case of violence.
story
Two kids and their cat start their journey in a colorful airplane. Trouble awaits them on their way, as a strong storm falls upon them. They find safety under the protection of their educator.
Next, the cat becomes the storyteller and showcases a bunch of "do's" and "don'ts". The end scene invites the audience to make sure that each child learns in a safe and harmonious environment.
