A great project doesn’t always require speaking the same language.
I recently had the opportunity to work on a motion design project for Iko OS, commissioned by Kelo Design. One interesting challenge: the project was in French, a language I don’t speak.
But through clear visual references, structured feedback, translation tools, and strong communication, we were able to build the project step by step and turn the concept into a polished motion piece.
For me, it was a great reminder that collaboration isn’t only about speaking the same language. A clear process, good communication, and a shared creative vision can go a long way.
