I was proud to be part of the team that made The Debutantes, a documentary capturing the coming-of-age journey of young Black women in Canton, Ohio as they breathe new life into a historic debutante ball tradition. I designed and animated dozens of graphics, from chapter markers to the main on ends, as well as creating a toolkit for typography and color.
