UHN — Your Complex Brain
The engagement: Concept development and creative direction for a branded podcast from North America's largest brain research centre.
The challenge University Health Network needed a podcast that could speak to two audiences at once: patients and caregivers looking for hope and clarity, and researchers and clinicians looking for credibility. Most science podcasts pick a lane. UHN needed both lanes to work.
What I did Developed the show concept and creative direction around a "science mixed with heart" storytelling formula — an editorial approach that let real patient stories anchor rigorous research content. Built the format, voice guidelines, and episode architecture that the production team now executes against.
The results
