Story
Jellyvision wanted to develop a new product to help employers comply with new laws requiring sexual harassment prevention training. I worked with a small team, led by writer Megan Manley, to research and build a pilot version in less than eight weeks.
Our research found a lot of shortcomings in existing training programs—many were boring, some reinforced gender stereotypes, and others made users feel unnecessarily defensive.

For the illustration style, I wanted to remove depictions of race and gender so as not to bias the user.
