2024

This project was a collaborative effort during my employment at Cross Origin, working closely with the wider brand and digital team. Just Charge is an EV charger management tool aiming to make integrating EV charging into businesses effortless. I helped develop a motion identity that extended their brand language, transforming a single visual cue into a dynamic, flexible motion system that powers thier visual language.


At the centre of the brand is the ChargeBar - a kinetic design tool representing charging, progress, and momentum. We used this element to build a motion behaviour system: simplifying, progressing, and powering up with clarity and restraint. This encouraged motion that reflects what the brand stands for: clarity, speed, and simplicity. To make the system scalable, helped create a motion toolkit for social media consistent of a library of templates, transitions, and animated elements that internal teams could use to create consistent, on-brand motion content without reinventing the wheel each time. This included endframes, overlays, animated type treatments, and charge bar transitions built in After Effects.
