Yo! I recreated a Duolingo-inspired animation in Rive, and it turned out to be one of my most challenging projects so far
I rebuilt the scene from scratch, refined the character movement and timing, and added interactivity using Rive’s tools. There was a lot of experimenting and rebuilding along the way, but I learned a lot and I’m genuinely proud of the final result

The way the letters stretch and reveal themselves in that typography feels almost cinematic. H3 handles motion blur really well for this kind of editorial animation.
Krok is a chaotic and inventive frog who lives in a hidden creative workshop inside an abandoned industrial building. He sees possibilities where everyone else sees junk.
For the Cantina Challenge, I created Krok’s pilot episode: a 60-second animated short where his improvised engineering turns a pile of discarded metal into a homemade transforming robot.
The goal was to explore how a character can be more than a visual design, giving him a recognizable personality, environment, sense of humor, and a story engine that can generate future episodes.
Krok’s creative philosophy is simple:
Build first. Figure out why later.
The episode combines character animation, visual comedy, sound-driven storytelling and a handmade scrap-metal aesthetic to introduce the character and his chaotic world.
This project was created entirely in Cantina, from character development to the final pilot.
