I’m Ellen Andries, a freelance visual- and motion designer. I translate complex or sensitive topics into accessible animations, illustrations, motion graphics, and graphic design. I work both digitally and illustratively, from concept and storyboard to final execution. I help organizations in the non-profit, cultural, and public sectors—nationally and internationally—communicate their message clearly, humanely, and visually. Since 2020 I’ve led MyEndo, a creative impact project on health communication that blends live-action and animation to raise awareness and influence policy related to women’s health.
