AAPI Victory Fund Election Mailer Illustrations

In the summer of 2024, I was invited to participate in the Vote Family Style Fellowship, an initiative by the AAPI Victory Fund (in partnership with Asian American Futures and VietRISE) to mobilize young Asian American voters in Orange County. We attended workshops on different issues affecting this demographic and, in turn, created short-form content for social media to engage and empower our audience to make their voices heard.

During this fellowship, I was also commissioned to create 6 illustrations centered around policies up for vote in the upcoming election, such as non-citizen voting and rent control, along with general #GetOutTheVote messaging. Each illustration was supported by research conducted by Asian American Futures on messaging and emotions that resonated best with the targeted demographic.

See the reels I created for the fellowship here and here.
