I was part of a small team that created the first season of WHYY's animated series Your Democracy. The series examines the history, misconceptions, and contemporary questions related to the U.S. Constitution in a fun and approachable way for students and adults alike.
The characters and design aesthetic we created set the precedent for subsequent seasons. I designed and animated the Gloria J. Browne-Marshall in Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Character Animator, making the character flexible for future iterations of the series.
