I had the pleasure and honor to be approached by my friends at Airbnb (San Francisco) to design and animate for their press room article. I was tasked with coming up with ideas and solutions to convey how the guests and hosts on Airbnb connect with sports through travel and hosting. In addition, both illustration and animation have to support the idea of how Airbnb hosts can help sports fans all over the world experience sporting events in a more authentic and accessible way. The mood of the illustrations has to feel fun, energetic, vibrant and exciting.

In order to connect with the viewers and to give a more human touch through the illustration and animation, I decided to connect all 4 animated loops through a single narrative with the creative brief in mind.
