System

System, a health innovation company working to integrate siloed medical data, asked Cotton to design a visualization that could communicate its mission with clarity and impact. The challenge was to transform complex, technical datasets into a single, compelling story that conveyed both scientific rigor and human relevance.

Cotton created a visualization system that builds from the transition between disconnected data points and a unified, patient-centered ecosystem. This transformation became the core design gesture—data fragments converging into an integrated whole—expressed through motion, layering, and pattern. The result is a visualization that feels precise yet empathetic, reflecting System’s vision of bridging science, technology, and human health.
