Instant Explainer Animation
Instant is a financial platform that allows employees to access wages they’ve already earned without waiting for payday.
I illustrated, designed, and animated an explainer video that walks through a relatable scenario many families face when unexpected expenses arise.

My Role
The animation follows a fictional employee named John as he navigates a common financial challenge. The goal was to make the story relatable and easy to follow while visually simplifying financial decisions.
Rough storyboard sketches helped map the narrative flow and pacing of the animation before illustration began.
Financial concepts like savings, debt, and payment options were translated into simple visual metaphors to keep the story clear and engaging.
Final illustrations were built in vector format and rigged in After Effects to allow for expressive character animation and smooth scene transitions.
