As a communications professional in the humanitarian sector for nearly a decade, I understand the power of visual storytelling, especially for topics that cannot be captured through photographs. During COVID-19, while working for WFP India, we couldn't visit our operations to take photos and videos. This led me to start illustrating at work (which is otherwise my hobby) for some of our communications products. To my surprise, these illustrated briefs performed better online and received more positive feedback than those with photos.

Inspired by this success, I continued creating meaningful illustrations at the WFP Innovation Accelerator to tell stories of resilience, food systems, climate change, and the lives of women and their families in a conflict-ridden world.

Below are some examples, with the rest available on my Instagram portfolio here.
