hey, beautiful people!
Seeing the recent Rive challenge on Contra got me really curious about the tool.
I’m a sound designer & mixing engineer, and I’ve started a personal project to experiment with an interactive, sound-driven portfolio using Rive. This is my first proper dive into it, but I'm very aware that this kind of interactivity can easily turn into a gimmick, so I’m trying to understand where it actually adds value and where it doesn’t. Would love to hear any thoughts or advice from people with more Rive experience — especially around keeping things playful but still professional. 🙏
Thanks Madi! That was exactly the idea, translating parts of my sound design workflow into something visual and interactive. Still figuring out how far to push it without losing clarity 🙂
wonderful!
Thank you Adonis😊

Throwback for #spooky season 🕯️
Revisiting our #collab with Axel Kinnear: frame-by-frame 2D animation full of goblins, green fire and old magic.
On our side we handled sound design and original #music, mixing organic #foley with eerie textures so the #hand-drawn style felt tactile and a little sinister.

Love this throwback! The frame-by-frame style with the green fire and goblins is so unique. And the sound design mixing foley with eerie textures — perfect for spooky season. Awesome collab!
VAULT — One Animation. Any Brand.
Most product-launch animations are rebuilt from scratch for every campaign. VAULT takes a different approach: one polished, animated vault reveal that can be transformed into a completely different brand experience without rebuilding the motion.
I built VAULT as a reusable, brand-swappable animation template, with semantically named SVG layers for the brand colours, logo, product image, headline, subheadline, status badge and call to action.
Beyond the animation itself, I built a live browser-based customiser where users can switch brand palettes, edit typography, replace visual assets, inspect the layer structure and download their customised SVG.
The side-by-side SYNTHEX AI and LUMEN HYDRATION demonstrations show the same animation timeline, easing and structure working across two very different markets: B2B SaaS and premium skincare. The identity changes. The underlying motion remains intact.
Built with SVGator MCP and the SVGator Player API, VAULT explores how AI-assisted creative workflows and interactive tooling can make professional motion design more adaptable and accessible.
The goal is simple: build once, customise in minutes, and launch for any brand.
