America, Explained (Vox)

America, Explained was a Vox series I created and produced from 2023-2025, directing some of Vox’s extremely talented animators. Its goal was to tell compelling, legible stories about US politics and policy that worked whether or not you were an American with a deep knowledge of our political system.
