I had the joy of working with Inequality Media on this piece produced to celebrate Labor Day weekend of 2023. It was a year of increased labor organization and resistance to said labor organizing, so explaining the history of the 5-day workweek was—and is—especially relevant.
I designed, edited, animated, and sound designed this piece in just under a month, in time for that pre-Labor Day weekend publication.
Animated Video
The video was inspired by this original sketch by Bob
Robert Reich needed a vacation from his busy schedule, so the video team at Inequality Media reached out for my help creating an animated piece to be released during that time.
They requested I incorporate a style that mimicked Bob’s signature doodles (example to the right). I was honored to recreate his doodles, but also created a complimentary style to appear alongside them to incorporated more detail and provide more visual appeal…and more recognizable caricatures of notable figures.

Course Title Card
Bob’s sketchbook reference!
In addition, I had the opportunity to create the title card (mogrt) for Bob’s UC Berkley course, Wealth & Poverty, which was provided for free online during his last two years teaching.

Bob and team loved my little animated Robert so much that they wanted to test out having ~ basically ~ little gifs of him doing various actions to overlay onto TikToks and IG reels/stories. This is a small selection of what was created for them. Look at that grumpy lil cutie up there!
Here is a small example of a mini Bob in use at the end of this clip (and also a promo for the aforementioned course that can be found on his substack!)
