As a leader in web hosting and domain registration, GoDaddy has recognized the growing need for AI-powered tools to help entrepreneurs and small businesses succeed online. As part of a new strategic initiative, the company began integrating AI capabilities into its platform to empower customers to grow their business idea from a domain purchase into a fully formed business.
My task was to create a 1–2 minute highlight reel that brought to life the potential of AI across GoDaddy’s products. Designed for internal teams, the video demonstrated how and where AI tooling could be leveraged throughout the customer journey—from purchasing a domain to launching and growing a business. I owned the project end-to-end—from concept and scripting to editing and delivery.
The finished piece offered a compelling narrative to inspire future product work, align teams around a shared vision, and show what’s possible when we put powerful tools in the hands of everyday entrepreneurs.

Partnered with key stakeholders to create wireframes that mapped out the user’s journey and visualize where AI-assisted features could integrate into the existing GoDaddy platform.
Utilized high-level wireframes to develop a comprehensive script for the sizzle reel. The script was divided into three key acts which highlighted the core investment areas for AI tooling—business identity, automated website creation and strategic marketing suggestions.
Created detailed storyboards to help visualize key elements of the sizzle reel and its overarching user flow. Utilized lo-fi interface designs to demonstrate the various scenarios in which GoDaddy's AI-powered tools could help the user overcome common challenges and shorten their time to value, ultimately allowing them to achieve their online goals more efficiently.
Hand-crafted captivating animations that brought depth to the storyline and utilized movement to demonstrate the flexibility of AI-powered features and create seamless transitions between chapters.
Crafted pixel-perfect representation of each AI-powered feature via high-fidelity mockups. Relied on contrast and animation to transition between core themes and ideas. Focused on visual polish, intuitive layout, and engaging interfaces to bring the concept to life and provide a vision for the future of the GoDaddy.
The AI sizzle reel quickly became one of the most viewed videos on GoDaddy’s internal Loom account. It continues to be referenced by senior leaders — including the CEO — as a clear, compelling example of vision work and how AI can enhance existing GoDaddy products. Even up to two years later, it remains a go-to resource for teams shaping AI-powered experiences.
“[I like how] it is not constrained by the screen and pulls the experience out of the UI. It shows what’s possible. No one is concerned if the menu is on the left or the right, for example. It makes the impact of Airo clear. I like the notes of humanity and humor throughout.”

“The ‘Sizzle Reel’ stands out as one of the most impressive deliverables the UX team has produced in several years. It effectively communicated to both internal and external GoDaddy stakeholders how AI could be utilized to enhance customer experiences and drive business growth.”
