"Worn Stories" is a mini documentary series on Netflix, adapted from Emily Spivack’s New York Times best selling book. I had an opportunity to create animated sequences for Matt’s and Racheal’s story in “Growing up” episode.

I first created character design and few key arts: to show what they look like, and what the world they live in look like.
Because the edit was going to keep changing: and that animation will be inserted throughout the live action sequences, I only made a rough storyboard, only for Matt’s story(I started with Matt’s story first) the edit kept changing so this served as more of a guide/reference point.
For Rachael's story, after I created the character design and key arts, I moved onto rough animation at that point.
Here are some examples of rough animation to the final animation.
Here are some of favorite moments from the sequences I have made.
