Confluence Databases
Client
Atlassian
Role
Lead Motion Designer
Description
The Atlassian Confluence team partnered with the design team to promote Confluence Databases, a new feature that enables teams to connect and organize their work in a more structured and dynamic way. This video highlights the capability of Confluence Databases while encouraging existing Confluence users to try it out.
Because this feature was still under development at the start of the project, as the lead motion designer I collaborated closely with the designer and the stakeholders to refine both the script and the design, ensuring the message was conveyed clearly.

1st Round of Storyboard
For this project, I worked with a designer to create two rounds of storyboards. The first round focused exclusively on refining the message and ensuring that each part of the text was paired with an appropriate visual. Having this version available helped to align with the stakeholders early on.

2nd Round of Storyboard
In the second round, we incorporated design elements based on the established Atlassian guidelines and refined the UI components to ensure they were at the correct level of fidelity.
