AJ+

I spent nearly five years creating animated explainers for the online news company AJ+. When I first started AJ+ was a small channel still trying to find its voice, and it eventually grew into a viral success on Facebook. At its peak, AJ+ had the highest views and highest engagement of any news channel on Facebook. During my time there I worked on both short-form and long-form storytelling content. When it came to design, this was an “anything goes” type of environment and each animator was essentially their own art director. While this lack of structure could be chaotic at times, it also allowed designers to experiment with an endless variety of styles and really own their work. Below are some videos demonstrating the wide range of content I designed and animated.
