Fall 2023 - Spring 2024
CoMotion is the world’s largest student-led motion design conference. As the co-president of the MOMELove club this year, I am in charge of communicating, organizing, and running the whole event.

CoMotion is led by a diverse student body, the event fosters an environment for creativity and collaboration.
Behind the Scenes - Planning
CoMotion is a huge production workflow for the MOMELove team - a student club which runs by 12 people. As one of the co-president, here’s the BTS for planning the event.
Here’s our meeting weekly schedule for the planning and the club meetings:
