Keeping babies jolly since 1957

Did you know that the Jolly Jumper was invented by Ojibwe woman Olivia Poole?

This is what I uncovered in a research deep dive, and it’s the story that myself and my team at Historica Canada chose to highlight in a one minute animated short for Canadian Innovation Week 2020.

From initial research to script treatments to the final video, I developed the script, worked with the production company as well as community consultants to bring Olivia’s story to life and share it with the world.
