NODE: Trust Infrastructure for Convenient Global SME Trade

Project Overview

NODE is a decentralized payment and trust infrastructure concept designed to bridge the financial gap between emerging market small businesses and global buyers. This project was a capstone brief set by Bimbo Oni Studio under the industry theme of Financial Inclusion & Intelligent Fintech. The brief asked for a six-scene illustration system and ten supporting spot illustrations that communicate both the emotional weight of traditional systemic barriers and the external support of a digital trust network. The deliverable was not a UI design project. It was a visual storytelling project, one that needed to make a viewer feel the problem before they understood the solution
