In my role as a Narrative Designer at Elsevier for the Shadow Health product, I had the privilege of serving as the steward of numerous medical cases, each featuring unique fictional patients. My responsibilities included crafting dialogue, developing backstories, and creating patient case files. The challenge was to ensure that every aspect of these cases maintained consistency and storytelling integrity across various cross-functional departments.

The central focus in each case was the educational value it provided to our target audience: nursing students and faculty nurse educators. Our clients relied on our product to simulate the comprehensive experience of caring for patients in different healthcare departments. While I may not have had a background in healthcare, my success as a Narrative Designer underscores my adaptability in handling various dimensions of storytelling.

To achieve this, I collaborated closely with nurse educators, conducting interviews and working alongside them to deeply understand the medical narratives we were crafting. The result was the delivery of strategic scripts that facilitated interactive experiences in 2D and XR.
