Breakthrough T1D
explainer animations that bring clarity to complex health topics
Client
Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) is a global nonprofit accelerating research to cure, treat and prevent type 1 diabetes. Together with agency Patchbay Media, I created a series of explainer animations to clarify topics like clinical trials and screening — and why they matter.
Project
For topics like medical research, clarity is everything.
The challenge: making complex, technical information feel accessible, engaging and human — by explaining subjects like the importance of clinical trials and screening in a series of clear branded explainer animations.
Visual clarity with a human touch
I developed a clean, friendly visual style helps potential volunteers quickly grasp the importance of topics like clinical trials and screening — across languages, cultures and platforms.
By combining clear design with smooth motion, the animations turn essential information into something easy to understand while staying true to Breakthrough T1D’s brand.
Adding character
Illustrated characters are a powerful way to bring personality to complex topics like healthcare. They help explain abstract subjects in a clear and relatable way — no need for on-location filming, while still creating a human connection.
