The presentation, “Moving Forward,” highlights the importance of motion in enhancing user experience and product design. It demonstrates how thoughtfully applied motion can enliven static designs, making interactions more engaging and memorable. Introducing a Motion Design System, it provides a structured approach to incorporating motion into design, ensuring consistency and effectiveness. The presentation covers the benefits and anatomy of this system, offers practical examples in various UI elements, and emphasizes the need for purposeful motion that aligns with the overall design language. Ultimately, it advocates for the strategic use of motion to elevate user experience and create functional, delightful products.
About two years ago, Kevin Dalvi joined Vimeo and quickly reached out to me to discuss a complete redesign of the product. As our SVP of Design, Kevin brought a fresh and bold perspective that emphasized motion design as a powerful tool for creating effective interfaces. We began the redesign with animated sketches instead of traditional wireframes, using videos to explore user interactions and journeys on the platform. This approach allowed us to visualize concepts in motion, helping us better understand user navigation and needs.
Before the redesign, Vimeo had evolved over nearly 20 years, resulting in a cluttered platform that confused users. Our goal was to create a seamless flow, ensuring every feature felt integrated and intuitive. We also recognized the design needed to function as a marketing tool. The interface had to be clear and easy to understand, quickly conveying Vimeo’s offerings and streamlining production for campaigns and tutorials.
These principles shaped our vision and guided the teams throughout the year-long project. The designers built a new design system and re-envisioned the product, improving both user experience and the underlying technology. Vimeo’s redesign was not just a design thinking initiative but more accurately a motion design thinking initiative, creating a more engaging user experience. This journey has transformed our product and reinforced our commitment to innovation and user-centered design.

Max Israeliana is a research of postmodernism in Israel, derived from Pax Israeliana, another Public School project. While Pax Israeliana references ’Pax Romana’ and aims to catalog Israeli modernism, Max Israeliana nods to maximalism and Americana. The project looks at Israeli postmodernism, and tries to identify its aesthetic and influences. The year that separates the two periods is 1977, when there was a shift from a social experiment to a society, abandoning its European, socialist origins for a more individualist future.
