Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A 2D Animated Nursery Rhyme
A classic nursery rhyme brought to life with rich storytelling imagery and polished 2D animation. Instead of just singing along, kids follow a gentle visual journey down the stream, with every scene adding to the mood of the song.
It's made for children, but parents and grandparents often enjoy it just as much. The warm, dreamy visuals take grown-ups back to their own childhood.
What I did:
β’ Developed the visual story and scene design behind the rhyme
β’ Created detailed 2D artwork and environments
β’ Animated everything in Adobe After Effects, with smooth motion timed to the music

A visual journey through the food chain, built to help kids see how energy moves through nature, from the sun and plants to the animals that eat them.
Each stage plays out in its own hand-crafted environment, so children can follow the chain step by step: who eats what, and how every living thing depends on another. Clear 2D animation turns a tricky science topic into a simple story kids can follow and remember.
What I did:
β’ Designed and illustrated detailed 2D environments for each stage of the food chain
β’ Animated characters and scenes to show the flow from producers to consumers
β’ Kept visuals clean and engaging so the concept stays easy for young viewers

β’ Designed clear, kid-friendly text and visuals that support early reading
β’ Kept the pacing and look consistent from A to Z, so young viewers stay engaged
