The brief

Chainguard’s Assemble user conference needed a kickoff film that introduced the event’s messaging through a story about software security. A pixel-driven aesthetic connected the animation to the conference theme.

My role

I designed and animated the motion graphics, developing the visual treatment, modular grids, typography and transitions. Each sequence was built around the voiceover, using pacing and movement to reinforce the key moments.

The approach

Pixel modules fragment, build and connect as the story moves from vulnerable systems toward a more structured environment. The animation becomes more ordered as the narrative progresses, leading into the Assemble brand reveal.
