Studio Showcase

This short video brings together scene design, character consistency, visual storytelling, and motion developed for workplace learning and digital training experiences.

Design Approach

The studio combines instructional design thinking with visual asset development. Assets are created to be clear, consistent, reusable, and suitable for interactive learning—not simply decorative.

The workflow includes prompt engineering, AI-assisted concept generation, Canva refinement, Adobe Photoshop editing, scene composition, animation preparation, and optimisation for Storyline 360 and web delivery.

Animated Learning Assistant

A friendly robot assistant concept designed for onboarding, learner guidance, contextual feedback, help prompts, and supportive interactions.

Reusable Digital Learning Guide

The animated assistant can be adapted for welcoming learners, highlighting instructions, delivering feedback, and guiding users through digital modules.

Character Design

Consistent static and animated characters support continuity across scenarios and reduce the need to recreate assets for each new module or screen. The walking construction worker demonstrates how a single character can be extended into motion for safety simulations and interactive learning.

Learning Environments

Office environments were created for onboarding, professional development, process training, customer-service scenarios, and workplace storytelling.

Asset Development Workflow

  1. Concept and learning need: Define the role the asset must play in the learner experience.
  2. Prompt engineering: Generate targeted concepts for environments, characters, and supporting elements.
  3. Visual refinement: Adjust composition, colour, proportions, clothing, poses, and visual consistency.
  4. Production preparation: Remove backgrounds, prepare reusable layers, and optimise assets for Storyline or web use.
  5. Motion and testing: Add animation where it improves guidance, attention, feedback, or continuity.
