2022 DEMO REEL
GFP: Illuminating Biology
Audience: Undergraduate biology students
Intended Purpose: Since its discovery, GFP has revolutionized the realm of biological imaging and has become invaluable in studying protein localization, physiological processes, and transgenic expression in vivo. This animation aims to introduce college-level biology students to the discovery and significance of GFP in a stylized and engaging way. See the case study to learn more about the process.
Introduction to Basic Eye Anatomy
Audience: Patients with retinitis pigmentosa
Intended Purpose: This short animation aims to introduce patients to eye anatomy through simple, vector illustrations. This animation was housed in an e-learning tool developed to educate patients about RP. See the case study to learn more about the process.
Dental Cavity Formation
Audience: Dental/oral hygiene medical conference
Intended Purpose: Developed in collaboration with Sydney Agger and Shiyu Chen, this animation visualizes the development of a dental cavity and travels from a macroscopic view of the enamel to the inner layers of dentin and pulp. My primary role in this project was leading pre-production and developing storyboards. I animated and composited the first scene. Check out my team members' work at the links below.
INTERACTIVE
A Flame Forward
Audience: General public
Intended Purpose: This 2-D platform game was developed in Unity for the 2021 Vesalius-Trust-A-Thon challenge. Exploring the theme of “a path forward “in a post-pandemic world, this game was developed over a two-week period in collaboration with BVIS peers and faculty. My primary role including integrating and animating assets within the Unity game engine as well as developing UI.
Hydrothermia Vent Explorer
Audience: Undergraduate biology students
Intended Purpose: This virtual reality experience developed in Unity for Oculus allows users to explore deep-sea hydrothermal vents and the uniquely adapted fauna inhabiting these elusive zones. My main role included asset creation and optimization, rigging models, and developing UI. See the case study to learn more.
2D/3D MODELING, ILLUSTRATION, DESIGN
Nodular Silicosis
This visualization introduces silicosis to students studying pathophysiology at a graduate level. The focus of this project is to depict disease progression, specifically the development of nodules in the lungs at a gross level and how these nodules appear at a histological level. Other objectives include introducing common symptoms of the illness and disease etiology.
Sustaining cAMP signaling through the formation of a PTHR1, B-Arrestin, and G-protein megaplex
This visualization explores the relationship that PTHR1, Beta-Arrestin, and G-protein megaplex play in sustaining cAMP signaling. Under the guidance of Christine Armstrong, this piece explores the implementation of branded visuals. Using Astra Zeneca's colors, typography, and layout, this visualization aims to communicate novel research with potential investors and shareholders at a medical research conference.
John Doe's Right Leg Injuries Exhibit
The objective of this assignment was creating a medical legal exhibit presenting the plaintiff's injuries in a clear way for a court room audience. X-ray images of the tibia and fibula were rendered to emphasize the injury to support the plaintiff's case.
Repair of tricuspid valve using autologous pericardial patch
This illustration visualizes 4 key steps of tricuspid valve repair due to leaflet damage caused by infective endocarditis. Aimed at a medical student audience, this visualization emphasizes the use of the patient's pericardium to repair valve damage.
CueR and the regulation of the CopA gene
This visualization was created for a graduate-level audience. It depicts the structure of the CueR protein and the role it plays in regulating the CopA gene by inducing structural changes to DNA.
American Journal of Bioethics Cover
This mock journal cover was created as an editorial piece for the American Journal of Bioethics. This illustration explores the ethical defensibility of harm reduction for patient's with severe easting disorders, and how physicians can provide partial solutions to patient's struggling with complete recovery. Lighting, color, and strong composition were used to capture the dark but hopeful nature of this topic. While the physician provides a bushel of grapes, the patient takes only one, highlighting the importance of exchange and trust between both parties.
