GOOGLE GEMINI

Storyboarding animations for UI-accurate software workflows to demonstrate new AI features at the Google IO developer keynote.

The 2025 Google IO Conference is an annual event focused on Google developer software tools, partner app integrations, and product updates. The 2025 event focused heavily on Google Gemini AI advancements, culminating in a weekend-long online event that brings the coding and digital marketing community together.

Over 3 months, our team of art directors, designers and animators were contracted by Google to create 4 hours of runtime for the global keynote presentation, as well as visuals and tutorial content. This event served as the major launch moment for the features outlined in the videos included here.

Many, if not all, of these features were in development until the days before the event. The software updates and new tools impacted the existing UI visual language for color stories, button states, window transitions, and input framework between desktop and mobile. This required our teams to stay connected and organize our revisions with our clients in an efficient way while working on the suite of apps.

My role was to storyboard new products on desktop and mobile, and be certain our tutorials were presenting UI-accurate workflows and illustrating new AI spaces across the Google Suite of products consistently in regards to appearance, ratio, placement, transitions, and timing.

Each video asset was storyboarded and animated in 16x9, 9x16 and 1x1 ratios to be used seamlessly across Google's Keynote address, social media pages, and blog at: www.gemini.google/about.
