STEP IT UP NYC 2019

Animation + Hand-lettering

For NYC Youth & Community Development’s 2018 Step It Up NYC, a LGBTQ PSA, I assisted in animating the hand-lettered text in this celebration of young queer dancers and steppers in New York City. Each frame was crafted to match the energy, rhythm, and bold spirit of the performers.
