Work innovation Summit is Asana's annual event sales event taking place in London and New York. This year's event centers around the state of work reshaped by AI. I have been the lead motion graphic designer for this event for three years, developing motion system, countdown, and opening sequence  based on the branding of each year.

The show
Motion Language
Each pattern begins with simple recognizable forms - rectangles, diamonds, and glow. Those elements are derived from our product experience to create captivating AI-inspired visuals.

Rectangles are the core UI elements of Asana workflows – layering on top of each other as complexity, scale and impact grows. Diamonds act as an abstract nod to the sparkle AI iconography. The glowing effect is a signifier when AI has been activated in Asana.

Animated patterns are used as interstitial loops and title transitions throughout the show.

3D Keychain
Attendees could customize a keychain at our activation booth. This animation created excitement and drove foot traffic to the booth.
