Strategy, then the systems that ship it.
From upstream platform strategy and brand architecture to go-to-market and product commercialization, the studio turns ambiguity into a pragmatic roadmap, then builds it. Print discipline, embedded with your team.
One core, four practices.
The same discipline that powers the studio's platform work powers its advisory: visualize the direction, architect the brand, take it to market, and commercialize the product, then build the systems to make it real.
Built by an operator, not an observer.
In Motion Studio is led by Michelle Weir, a business leader whose career spans Education Platforms, Content Services (SaaS), and the Global Graphic Communication industries, conceiving, designing, and implementing platforms from first concept to shipped technology and the businesses that run on them.
The throughline is upstream work: visualize the direction, research and brand the opportunity, and stand up the infrastructure, most visibly as the architect of HP Piazza, HP's content platform for publishing, launched to the industry at the London Book Fair with Pearson as anchor partner.
“My mission is to imagine and deliver creative, innovative, and transformative solutions that propel sustainable impact and create value.”
A career built on loyal personal relationships that drive sales, strategic partnerships, revenue, and profits — conceiving, designing, and implementing transitional change, and launching new technologies that drive sustainable products, workflows, solutions, and services.
Senior leadership across industrial print and publishing, and the platform work that became HP Piazza.
Senior roles in the graphic communications business, recognized with the Xerox President's Award.
The consulting practice of RogueOne Enterprise: the same platform discipline, now applied for clients.
Where the studio creates leverage.
Platform Strategy
Visualize the direction, research the opportunity, and stand up the infrastructure it runs on, from routing systems to the platforms new categories live on.
Brand Architecture
Name and structure the opportunity. Parent to practice to product, so the hierarchy reads true and every brand knows its place.
Go-to-Market Execution
Turn strategy into revenue. Utilization first: fill the capacity before optimizing the price, because the press bills by the month, not the page.
Product Commercialization
Take emerging technology from concept to market, and to the workflows, pricing, and business model that make it hold.
Content & Editorial Strategy
Give publishing and content programs a spine: what gets made, for whom, and how it earns its place. Facts locked before voice is applied.
Routing Intelligence
Design the logic that moves a job to the right node at the right cost, the connective tissue behind a modern print-fulfillment network.
Print & Production Intelligence
Bring press economics, color, and gamut into the strategy, so the plan is priced and produced the way the machine actually runs.
Publishing Platforms
Architect the platforms that carry publishing and education content from first concept through to a business that runs on it.
A clear path from idea to impact.
Discover
Map the goals, constraints, and current state, separating the real problem from the noise.
Frame
Name the opportunity and lock the facts. A pragmatic plan with clear trade-offs and success criteria.
Build
Stand up the platform, the brand, and the systems in small, reviewable increments you can see early.
Scale
Harden, measure, and hand off, leaving your team with systems they can own and evolve.
The networks we build with.
From HP's publishing platform to a global print-fulfillment network and an industrial inkjet launch, this is the record: platforms conceived upstream, launched publicly, and run as real businesses.
Cloudprinter
Go-to-market and platform strategy across a global print-on-demand network, with NAASTE, the routing-intelligence brand built under it, moving volume to the right node and filling capacity where it counts.
52 Industrial
Brand architecture, messaging platform, and go-to-market for the industrial inkjet company that publishes its economics. The studio built the identity system and the CHOICE platform: ink pricing, service terms, and capital range published in the open, so the choice is checkable. Launch runs on the IT'S TIME campaign, debuting at PRINTING United Expo 2026.
HP Piazza
Architected HP's content platform for the publishing industry, connecting publishers, content, and digital print production into one flow. Launched to the industry at the London Book Fair with Pearson, the world's largest education company, as anchor partner.
Programs with measurable impact.
Education programs conceived, designed, and shipped — each one a platform, a partnership, and a published result.
The Every Inkling Writing Contest
Managed the engagement for HP, connecting its environmental-sustainability leadership with its commitment to education. Conceived, designed, and developed an interactive writing platform using creative assets licensed from Dr. Seuss for the Lorax film, tied to lesson plans developed by Scholastic. Students from third through eighth grade engaged across hundreds of classrooms in the United States and the United Kingdom, with thousands submitting their stories.
Bridging the Digital Divide
A program built for students on the wrong side of the homework gap — those without the connectivity or devices to learn at home, where the youngest learners are hit hardest. A content repository donated by TIME for Kids, Britannica, Girl Rising, Lonely Whale, NABU, and NASA, connected to a Shopify commerce flow, with STEM and environmental packets printed on demand and delivered to school districts and underserved students.
