First Kings of Europe marks an astounding moment in museum history. This gathering of more than 700 exquisite objects— including jewelry, weapons, armor, and more— has never before been shown together. From the oldest human-made gold objects to the feasting set of a Thracian King, this exhibition brings together the work and stories of 26 museums and 11 countries throughout southeastern Europe.An engaging exhibition that has highlighted new stories each year since 2020. It celebrates the inspiring journeys of women in science and invites visitors to discover how diverse perspectives, identities, and backgrounds drive innovation and shape the future of scientific discovery.




Storyboards I created for the central video—these early sketches represent my initial interpretation of the script. As you’ll see in the final video, the concept evolved significantly throughout production.
Working with Spring Shoe Animation & Illustration LLC, I served as project manager, storyboard artist, animator, and editor for this project. Through creative collaboration, beautiful illustrations and great animation, we told the story of how European monarchs rose to power centuries ago.
