🎨 Just returned from an incredible journey that marked many firsts in my life - my first trip to Europe, my first time at DEMO FESTIVAL in Amsterdam, and my first in-person motion design event. And what a journey it was!
I still remember when I got selected for DEMO FESTIVAL 2023. Though I couldn't make it then, I made a promise to myself: if I ever got selected again, I would be there. Fast forward to 2025, and here I am, living that promise!
Walking through Netherland's streets was like stepping into a living canvas. Every corner breathes design, art, and architecture. It's truly a city that speaks the language of creativity fluently.
What struck me most wasn't just the amazing work being showcased (though that was mind-blowing!), but the beautiful simplicity trend emerging in motion design. We're seeing a return to the fundamentals of communication, proving that sometimes less truly is more.
The real magic? Meeting talented creators from around the globe. Those conversations and connections are absolutely priceless. 🌍✨
While I'm thrilled that part of the collection will be displayed in Vancouver (just a quick 45-minute flight from home!), experiencing it in Amsterdam was something else entirely.
Huge thanks to STUDIO DUMBAR/DEPT for orchestrating this incredible festival. Here's to more creative adventures ahead! 🚀
