Personalized, precision medicine for the brain.
the story
Serving as a dedicated strategic partner for the UAB Department of Neurosurgery, we deliver high-fidelity visual assets engineered for clinical utility. Ranging from cinematic precision medicine content to step-by-step surgical didactics, this ongoing collaboration directly supports the department’s high-stakes grant applications, recruitment initiatives, and peer-reviewed publications.

problem
Complex neurosurgical pathologies—such as Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) and Chiari Malformations—require clear, scientifically rigorous visual communication to aid in surgical decision-making, secure grants, and publish in top-tier medical journals.
solution
In close collaboration with UAB’s surgical leadership, we developed a suite of high-fidelity illustrations, cinematic animations, and interactive clinical tools. These assets establish a unified visual language to communicate UAB’s precision medicine initiatives to clinical peers, donors, and the broader global medical community.
AVM Surgical Decision-Support Study
To support a clinical study assessing neurosurgical consensus on AVM management, we architected a comprehensive series of 48 unique anatomical variations. By synthesizing Spetzler-Martin criteria with supplemental patient factors, these visual models served as the primary instrument for a physician survey evaluating surgical comfort levels and risk tolerance.

Visualizing Precision Medicine: AVMs
Produced and directed this clinical overview, integrating custom anatomical 3D animations to clarify the nuances of Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) alongside expert commentary.
"Outstanding work! I very much like this expanded layout version... it tells the full story."
