Dear System Designers,
A new interview is now live!
For a while now, I’ve been talking about the importance of motion systems, but I’ve never sat down with someone whose day-to-day business is making these systems flexible for big clients in need of multiple formats. That changes with one of the best motion designers I know: Adrián Moran.
Based in Barcelona, Adrián is a senior freelance 2D animator with more than a decade of experience creating work for global brands such as Google, Apple, and National Geographic, as well as leading studios including Buck, SiblingRivalry, and FutureDeluxe. In our interview, we talk about Adrián’s approach to animation, the role of simple shapes and bold colors in visual storytelling, and why motion design can be both expressive and foundational.
Adrián will also be leading a beginner-friendly Cavalry workshop at the School of Systems, created especially for the Flexible Visual Systems community. The workshop introduces a procedural approach to motion, helping designers build smart, scalable animations from the ground up.
We discuss what makes Cavalry such a strong fit for system designers—and how to keep procedural motion feeling playful, expressive, and alive.
