As a novel and complex topic, Bioprinting is not widely understood. This 2D animation introduces lay audiences to the basics of bioprinting - what it is, how it works, and why it matters. The client's goal was to clarify each stage of the process and highlight real-world applications in future medicine, such as drug research, in an engaging way.

Developed collaboratively as part of the University of British Columbia's Biomedical Visualization and Communication capstone project, the project followed an instructional design process involving research, storyboarding, visual development, and feedback cycles with SMEs and test groups. My role was focused on editing the script for clarity and narrative engagement, storyboarding, designing animation assets, and rigging for animated characters. I designed visuals and pacing to reinforce the script's learning goals, combining imagery and narration in line with dual-coding theory and simplifying complex details to reduce cognitive load for general audiences.
