Overview
In collaboration with Taylor’s University, I worked on an animation project aimed at educating younger children about the female body and how it works. Using the Kurzgesagt art style, known for its colorful, minimalist, and engaging visuals, we simplified complex concepts into fun and approachable animations that were easy for kids to understand. The animation focused on breaking down topics like anatomy and biological processes into bite-sized, visually appealing segments. My role included designing playful yet informative assets, ensuring the visuals were age-appropriate, and creating smooth animations to maintain the children’s attention. The goal was to spark curiosity and provide an engaging educational experience, making learning about the human body exciting and fun for young audiences.

The Challenge
One of the key challenges was ensuring the animation remained kid-friendly while still being informative, especially given the sensitive nature of certain topics. I was tasked with creating a scene that explained how two people have sex to conceive a baby, as well as animating the process of sperm meeting the ovaries. Striking the right balance between providing accurate information and maintaining appropriateness for younger audiences required careful planning, thoughtful visuals, and a delicate approach to storytelling.
The Solution
To address this, I used metaphors, abstract visuals, and the Kurzgesagt art style to communicate these processes in a non-explicit, age-appropriate way. For the sperm and ovary animation, I focused on playful and symbolic imagery, such as using colorful, simplified visuals to represent the journey and interaction in an engaging yet educational manner. Collaborating with the team and incorporating feedback helped ensure the scenes were handled sensitively and effectively for the target audience.
