Native Digital × Neuron Group · 2025–26
Six founders.
One badge.
Through Native Digital, I turned Neuron Group’s founder badges into a 3D loop. A black card hangs from a lanyard, catches the light, and turns to reveal the next person.
I built the object, materials, motion, and animated screen layer in Cinema 4D, Redshift, and After Effects.

01 · The object
A badge with weight.
The starting point was a flat badge design: a founder portrait, name, title, and Neuron’s globe. For the web animation, I treated it as something you could clip on and wear.
The card stays almost black. Worn plastic, fingerprints, and fine scratches give the light something to catch. Rough steel and oxidized aluminum make the clip feel handled rather than pristine.
02 · The faces
One object.
Six identities.
The face is a separate After Effects animation mapped onto the 3D card. Names, titles, and portraits stay editable in one place, while the badge turns to land on the next person.
03 · The revision
Let the turn
do the work.
An early version used a silver liquid wipe between people. The revision removed it: the card turns on its lanyard and returns with the next face. The same pass corrected each person’s title and number.
04 · Delivery
Made for the web.
A compact, repeating animation built for Neuron’s web build. The physical card carries the identity; the editable screen layer lets the people change within it.
