Clinical Trials
Animated Explainers for Trial Participants
Animated videos translating complex trial science into clear, accessible information for patients.
Clinical trials ask patients to make significant decisions about their health based on information that’s often dense, technical and intimidating. Across several projects, I art directed and storyboarded animated explainer videos designed to make this information clear and accessible to trial participants.
In each case, the challenge was the same: take research-grade science and make it understandable to someone deciding whether to participate in a trial. I worked closely with medical writers and subject matter experts to find the right visual language — analogies, simplified diagrams, clear narrative structure — then directed illustrators and animators through production.
For Bristol Myers Squibb, I worked on mechanism of action videos for MRTX1719 in MTAP-deleted cancers, combining 2D and 3D animation with infographics.
For Lupus UK, a video series explained lupus, CAR-T cell therapy and what participating in a clinical trial involves.
For Azafaros, the videos covered mode of disease and mode of treatment for gangliosidoses and Niemann-Pick type C disease.
For Intrabio, the focus was on Niemann-Pick type C and the mechanism of action of N-acetyl-L-leucine.
