Google Cloud Next




Overview

Google Cloud Next is the brand’s flagship user conference. I was brought in to lead visual direction on all speaker presentation materials—designing a scalable visual system and directing motion across the event.




Approach

Leading a team of 3 designers and 2 animators, I built a modular framework based on the event’s geometric logo. This system housed animation, illustration, and photography cohesively across hundreds of presenter slides.

I also storyboarded and directed branded animations used between sessions—moments of expression that formed Cloud product symbols or reinforced themes like data, security, or AI. Each piece balanced clarity with a bit of Google-y charm.









Impact 

The system elevated the quality and consistency of every talk. Animations added rhythm and personality without distraction. My team’s presentation, motion, and design systems became foundational templates for future Google Cloud events and internal storytelling.
