Here we’ll cover a very brief snapshot of Ryan and the practice. Very brief.
We’re an independent Melbourne design studio with a focus on brand and motion. Led by Ryan Walker, we partner with founders, agencies and brand teams globally to create expressive brand strategies, visual identities, motion systems and motion production work.
Our work is culturally-informed and seen across the fields of music, arts, retail, technology, hospitality, automotive, real estate and more. We don't have a house style, but house values we bring to the work. Expression. Optimism. Impact. Personality meets practicality.Authenticity? Paramount. Day-one energy, every day.
Say hello! We're all about new projects and new friends. Fast responses. Clear quotes. Good times, we promise 👋

The brief
NOMO, short for 'No More Missing Out', is a mobile platform that helps people scroll less and build healthier online habits without banning social media apps. The app was developed by leading behavioural scientists to help parents and educators reduce the time teens spent online, and the chronically online in general to scroll less and live more. By hitting milestones, users can unlock benefits including NFL and NBA tickets, exclusive merch, concepts and cash-back. Koto Studio was tasked with establishing the brand and product design in 2024, with us brought in to help define the brand's motion identity.

Outcome
A tight and tightly defined motion identity that stretched across core brand assets, through to app and UI/UX integration. Given the platform's focus of reducing time spent online, Koto's identity work followed an organic and offline-infused campus 'zine' direction with a tasteful and contemporary 90s nod. The motion identity amplified this. Low-FPS goodness. Stretchy, morphing logo and type treatment. A variable halftone texture system. Plus, a live and reactive brand avatar complete with a suite of motion states and behaviours. Big thanks to the team and Koto and NOMO for having us on this 🙌
