Educational Animation • Visual Storytelling • Curriculum Communication • Motion Design

Folens Education

Folens Education, a leading provider of educational resources in Ireland, commissioned me to create a one-minute animated video introducing their Maths My Way curriculum. The project combined educational communication, character animation, and motion design to create an engaging introduction for teachers and educators.

Working closely with the Folens team, I helped translate curriculum concepts into a concise and visually approachable animated experience. The goal was to simplify educational messaging while bringing the program’s characters and teaching philosophy to life through storytelling, pacing, and expressive animation.

The animation balanced clear communication with playful visual energy, using character-driven motion graphics and clean design to create an accessible presentation that supported educator understanding and audience engagement.

My role included storyboarding, visual development, character animation, motion graphics, and overall creative direction for the final animated piece. The project required balancing educational clarity with engaging visual storytelling while maintaining consistency with the existing Folens brand and curriculum materials.
