Motion Design / 2025
A short animated film about ADHD, distraction, and the struggle to hold onto one thought while many others appear at once. The project began with the word “chess,” inspired by how every move creates multiple possible next moves—similar to the way my mind works with ADHD. What started as a study of chess became a personal exploration of focus, overload, and self-interruption, following the moment when control slips and the mind begins playing several games at once.

Developing the Visual Language
I wanted the typography to reflect ADHD- unstable, shifting, and constantly interrupting itself. The letters change shape, weight, and rhythm, creating movement even before animation begins.
The visual language uses sharp contrasts and a limited black-and-white palette inspired by chess. Over time, the chess pieces became abstract graphic icons, working with the typography to create a system that feels controlled on the surface, but restless underneath.
