🐰🥕 Interactive Bunny Character built in Rive!
Created for a kids’ educational app, this little bunny comes to life through simple and playful interactions:
🥕 Hover near the bunny → a carrot appears
👀 The bunny notices it and starts following it
🏃 Click → the bunny starts running!
Built entirely in Rive, combining character animation with interactive behavior to create a more engaging experience for kids.
I love exploring how interactive animation can make educational apps feel more alive and playful. ✨

Built a playful kindergarten experience with motion at its heart.
For this project, I wanted to create more than just a website I wanted to build a digital space that feels alive, friendly, and magical for kids and parents.
I explored:
• Rive animations for interactive characters and micro-interactions
• Smooth motion design to create a storytelling experience
• A minimal, colorful UI that feels playful without being overwhelming
• Responsive design with performance in mind
The goal was to make every interaction feel joyful from the first scroll to every small animation detail.
A small reminder that good design is not only about how something looks, but also about how it feels. 🌈

awesome stuff!
What if your motion graphics could react to what's happening around them?
I recreated this proximity-based animation in After Effects, where a moving controller influences the characters around it.
The fun part was taking the basic idea further making the characters move, changing their facial expressions, making the eyes follow the controller, and even adding proximity-based lighting.
It’s a good example of how expressions can turn a simple animation into something much more interactive.
I’ve also recorded the complete tutorial and broken down how I built the effect step by step.

Inspired by the original tutorial by Olly (@oliviero_s) “Automatic Proximity Reactions in After Effects.”

Sneha, this is such a fun use of proximity controls. Love that you pushed it beyond just movement and gave the characters different reactions too. Makes the whole setup feel much more alive.
