Projects
Perlmutter Experience Museum (2025)
Narrative driven animation for a permanent exhibition exploring the life cycle, decline, and reintroduction of freshwater pearl mussels. The work included a large-scale gable projection combining storytelling, infographics, and sound to create an immersive experience.
I led concept development and animation for The Myth of the Pearl-Fisher installation, working closely with producers to translate script ideas into visual narrative.

Caspar Health — Digital Rehabilitation Platform
Motion and narrative content for a digital rehabilitation platform focused on physiotherapy, recovery, and long-term patient engagement. The work centred on translating complex medical and scientific concepts into clear, accessible infographic animations that support understanding, motivation, and trust.
RoleCreative Producer and Motion Designer, responsible for concept development, visual storytelling, and animation. I worked closely with medical experts and the content team, and collaborated with marketing and UX/UI design teams to align motion output with the existing brand while also conceiving new narrative and visual ideas to extend the brand language.
Intent / decision-making
The motion language was designed to balance clarity and emotion — simplifying complex information without stripping it of empathy — ensuring the content felt supportive and human rather than instructional or clinical.

Intent / outcome
The film was designed to move like a dance — allowing motion to ebb and flow with the music rather than illustrate it literally. The focus was on atmosphere, rhythm, and emotional resonance. The final piece was very positively received, including direct recognition from John Williams.
