Instructional design

Over the years, I’ve worked on training and educational content for schools and organizations, creating videos that make learning feel simple, clear, and—most importantly—fun to watch. Here’s a collection of projects where I turned lessons and complex ideas into visuals that actually keep people interested.

Improving Your Word StresS

Part of a 10-video series by MOE’s English Language Department, this educational animation helps students master word stress in spoken English. While at onedash22, I worked as lead animator on this episode—handling all illustrations and guiding the animation direction. It was one of the first projects that sparked my passion for educational content.

Outdoor Play: A Guide for Parents

A Project by Singapore’s Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), this animated video supports the Baby Bonus parenting resources by offering tips to encourage outdoor play. Working from a client-provided script, I developed the storyboard, created custom illustrations, and animated the full piece. I also handled editing, sound design, and final delivery to ensure a seamless and engaging learning experience.

How I Work
Every instructional video starts with understanding what needs to be taught — and who it’s for. I work with clients to shape the script or key message, making sure the information is clear and easy to follow.

 

Once that’s locked in, I sketch and illustrate all the visuals, keeping them simple but engaging.

 

Then it’s off to animation in After Effects, where everything gets movement and flow, and finally, I edit it all together for a smooth, polished finish. From start to end, I make sure the video isn’t just informative, but something people want to watch.

Gagak dan Merak

A digital storybook created for MOE’s Malay Language Department during the COVID period. I worked closely with teachers to ensure accurate storytelling and diction—recording voiceovers together and fine-tuning each detail. Despite not being a Malay speaker, I illustrated, animated, and polished the entire piece, making this one of my earliest contributions to digital storybook development..

Changi Airport Terminal 4

Instructional Video

Created in collaboration with director Erin Houselander during our time at OneDash22, this project involved a series of instructional videos displayed across Changi Airport. The animations guided passengers through the use of Terminal 4’s contactless, high-tech gantry systems. I handled storyboarding, illustration, and animation —ensuring the visuals were clear, accessible, and engaging for an international audience.

Read Like a Detective

A three-part animated series for MOE’s English Language Department, based on a teacher-developed script that introduced students to reading strategies through a Sherlock Holmes-inspired storyline. I handled the illustration, animation, and worked with a co-producer for final delivery. Despite the tight turnaround, it was a rewarding project that blended narrative and literacy skills in a creative way.

The Umbrella MaN

A two-part animated series for MOE’s English Language Department about identifying themes in stories. I handled all creative aspects—illustration, animation, and post-production—based on a fun teacher-written script. The story follows a mother and daughter’s mysterious encounter with a stranger on a rainy London evening. I especially enjoyed illustrating the French-inspired, monochromatic cityscape to match the story’s moody setting.

why it matters

Being part of this process means more than just creating pretty visuals—it’s about building something that serves a purpose. I genuinely enjoy working with educators and trainers because every project comes with a clear goal, a backstory, and a reason to exist. There’s always something we’re trying to teach, clarify, or improve. I love being the one who helps solve that puzzle—turning complex ideas into visuals that make sense, stick, and support learning. It’s meaningful work, and that’s what keeps me showing up.

I've had the pleasure of working with Regina on many post-production and animation projects. Regina's creative flair and expertise when it comes to animation and motion graphics makes her a valuable asset to any team she is on. Her versatility when it comes to ideation, illustration and animation breathes new life into any project brief. She is also a proactive communicator and is meticulous when it comes to end-to-end project planning and team management which is vital in keeping timelines on track and quality of work up to standard. Would highly recommend working with Regina!
