Overview

As part of Samsung’s Voices of Galaxy series, we profiled sleep scientist and communicator Vanessa Hill, who is dedicated to making sleep science accessible and actionable. In the film, Vanessa shares her mission to help people understand the importance of rest and how technology can be a valuable tool in building healthier sleep habits. I worked on this project as Co-Director and Producer, overseeing the production from start to finish.

The story highlights the universal challenge of sleep in today’s fast-paced world. From social media distractions to burnout and parenting, Vanessa draws on her background in neuroscience to explain why so many struggle with quality sleep. By combining scientific insight with practical advice, she encourages people to approach sleep as a skill that can be improved – supported by tools like the Galaxy Ring and Galaxy AI features.

More than just a film about technology, this piece captures Vanessa’s passion for bridging the gap between research and everyday life. Through her work, she is inspiring a global audience to reclaim their nights and embrace rest as an essential foundation for wellbeing. Produced in partnership with Samsung, the film reflects the Voices of Galaxy ethos of spotlighting individuals who use creativity, determination, and technology to make a positive impact.
