The challenge was to introduce new financial services across Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. This required conducting research and translating the findings into a comprehensive visual communication approach that addressed different cultural attitudes, behaviors, and sensitivities around money.
I directed and designed a visual approach based on a clear insight: people respond more positively to the emotional outcomes of money rather than to financial messaging itself. Instead of focusing on technical or transactional aspects, I built the communication around cultural, personal, and emotional benefits of saving and transferring money—moving away from cold, intimidating financial language toward something more relatable and human.
