Role: Conference Director
CoMotion is a student-led motion graphics conference that brings together top industry professionals with Motion Media Design students at the Savannah College of Art and Design. The event is organized by MOMELove (SCAD's official Motion Media Design academic club) and includes a keynote speech, panel discussions, the annual curated and juried Student Showcase, 1-on-1 portfolio reviews, and an award ceremony.
My Role: As MOMELove CoPresident, I was in charge of overseeing every aspect of CoMotion and making sure it all ran smoothly.

Branding Team Basics: Though MOMELove runs the event's technical side, CoMotion would not be possible (or beautiful) without the hard work of our Branding Team. The CoMotion Branding Team is a group of students who create all the graphic design, animation, signage, and other deliverables for the event.
My Role: As Co-President, I approved and gave feedback for all deliverables made by the 36-member CoMotion 2023 branding team, working closely with the team's Creative Director, Art Director, and Producers.

Portfolio Reviews
Review Rundown: Every year, MOMELove hosts portfolio reviews on both days of the CoMotion conference. During these sessions, students are matched with industry attendees for 1-on-1 reviews to receive feedback on their work, make connections, and gain real experience interviewing.
Practice Reviews: CoMotion 2023 was the first on-campus year back from quarantine, so we collaborated with SCAD CAS (the Career Alumni Success office) to offer practice portfolio reviews for students to acclimate to in-person interviews. These reviews allowed students who lacked necessary experience to review their work in a curated environment and set their best foot forward during CoMotion.
My Role: The MOMELove officers organized and managed the entire portfolio review sorting process. This included documenting and facilitating professorial match-ups between companies and students, scheduling reviews with no overlap, and sending out correspondence to companies and students so that they may know their match-ups ahead of time.

The Student Showcase
The Showcase: The CoMotion Student Showcase is a collection of the program's best student work, broken into 11 categories that fall under either "Design" or "Motion". The work displayed was selected by SCAD Motion Media professors and made into a presentation by the students.
Showcase Voting: The nominees for each category were presented on the first day of CoMotion. After the presentation, attending companies got to vote for their choices from each category. That night, the votes were counted and a winner presentation was made. The next day, the winners for each category were announced and all winners received custom engraved trophies.
Marvelous MCs: CoMotion had 2 wonderful Masters of Ceremony during the Student Showcase who read off all the nominees' names and category titles. These students were selected by the MOMELove Student Showcase Team from a round of informal auditions.
My Role: I directed and organized the creation of the 2023 CoMotion Student Showcase- this included managing and curating submissions, collecting professor nominations, counting ballots, assembling the presentation, organizing trophy engraving, and selecting/preparing the event's MCs. The Student Showcase team was comprised of myself and 4 other MOMELove Officers.
