In partnership with Z1 and the illustrator Fran Pulido, I led the motion design strategy for Field Trip, a companion app for psychedelic-enhanced therapies. The project centered on developing a scalable animation system, from calming interactions to narrative-driven visuals that guides users through their experience with a sense of peace and professional care.
In June 2023, Stella acquired Field Trip’s US clinical assets, incorporating its research, technology, and expertise in ketamine-assisted therapy.
The core of the experience revolves around five immersive, infinite loops designed to accompany patients during their therapeutic sessions. I crafted each environment—River, Underwater, Forest Walk, Desert, and Tropical Jungle—as a seamless, meditative journey. These visuals act as a calming anchor while users are under the effects of ketamine, synchronized with curated music and the clinic’s therapeutic guidance. The challenge was to balance visual richness with a low-cognitive-load approach, allowing patients to effortlessly record voice notes and navigate the guide without breaking their state of deep relaxation.
