CoMotion 2025
Motion graphics conferences
We take these “meet by chances” as stepping stones into our designs, shaping, interpreting, and embracing the creative process. As we navigate this journey, we recognize ourselves as both leaders and learners, paving the way for future generations to join our ever-expanding network of creative minds.

Abstract
The theme of CoMotion 2025 reflects the unseen forces that guide us through chance encounters, fleeting moments, and the choices that ripple into something greater. As designers, we navigate these shifts, shaping and reshaping our paths, decoding fragments of experience, and embracing the fluid nature of creation.
Like a moth drawn to light, our journey is marked by transformation—an unfolding process of movement, resistance, and discovery. We step forward, uncertain yet intentional, shaping the narrative. The past lingers as a whisper, not as something to hold us back, but as momentum pushing us forward. Each decision, each moment of clarity, is a step toward becoming.
Rold as a Design Lead
As a design lead, my role was to translate abstract concepts into a cohesive visual language—guiding the evolution of form, motion, and narrative. The process was shaped by exploration and refinement, balancing structure with fluidity to ensure that every element contributed to a unified experience.
Rather than imposing a singular vision, the focus was on facilitating dialogue between ideas, allowing the project to grow through iteration and collective input. By defining visual motifs, aligning perspectives, and curating the rhythm of movement and composition, the work became an expression of transformation—where design and storytelling merged into an immersive, evolving identity.

Concept & Direction
The visual identity for CoMotion 2025 is built around the notion that unpredictable moments shape our journey. We wanted to tell a story through the ever-changing process of light and movement, experimenting with shifting forms and the way fragmented memories weave together into a narrative.

Harmonizing Geometry and Fluidity
Initially, we experimented with the integration of geometric structures and organic fluidity, exploring how the two could coexist dynamically. Through multiple iterations and visual tests, we refined the approach, ultimately developing a style that emphasized the natural flow and interaction of light.
