CVS, Meet Your Next Explanation Professional.

I have strategized, conceived, written, account-managed, and creative-directed hundreds of B2C and B2B videos for dozens of clients. I’ve led internal and external teams at every stage, from strategy consultation to execution.

When you’re making an explanation video, the creative and SME teams are sure to have a lot of questions: How much on-screen text is too much? How often should we feature footage of the expert? How do we lay out a case without making it sound like a canned marketing pitch? How deep should we go into this topic? What style of animation should we use?

And that’s just scratching the surface. I’m ready to bring everything I know about the science of explanation to ensure our projects succeed.

    Explaining a Brand-new Technology

    As an early pioneer in AI-driven ultrasound, EchoNous had to move quickly to educate doctors and other healthcare providers. Most doctors were skeptical about mixing AI with ultrasound. So, it engaged my team to write and produce over a dozen explanation videos to do just that.

  • A pamphlet that reads L L S Co-pay assistance program

    Navigating the Unnavigable

    Technological or medical concepts can be tough to comprehend. But few topics break people’s brains like healthcare insurance. We created a series of both high-level and nitty-gritty videos for LLS to explain its co-pay assistance program.

    Two Complex Topics, One Explanation

    Deep Genomics utilizes AI and mRNA technology to help find cures and treatments for rare diseases. But in the early 2020s, few of their stakeholders and investors understood either topic—let alone how those two technologies could work together. We bridged the gap.

    Making the Case

    When you’re creating testimonial case studies, customers and clients don’t always speak in perfect sound bites. But they can deliver authenticity no copywriter can match. See how my teams pulled out that authenticity while still keeping true to the brand message.
