How I make these grid animations in After Effects, starting with a single square.
I’ll walk through the repeaters, color variation, and how a simple circle controls the movement of each tile using Card Dance.
All native effects. No plugins needed.

This is the kind of work I want to do more of.
A strong visual direction and plenty of room to get creative with the development. Built in Webflow, animated with GSAP.
Here’s a look around.
Outstanding Work❤️
Two Ads, Two Designs but Different Vibes:
Using the hours and the rest day, I came with these ads using the
software of SVGator combined with the transitions from Adobe After Effects.

I had the pleasure of working with 21st.dev to make small design fixes easy to see.
AI can build a page, but the details don’t always match. Different button sizes. Inconsistent text. Selected states that aren’t clear. The design feels off.
To explain Design Bug Bot, I built a UI component with those problems and animated the fixes one at a time.
I brought each issue into focus, showed what changed, then pulled back to show the result.
Why this approach?
People won’t pause and replay your video to figure out what changed.
That’s why I make each feature obvious, one at a time.
If a feature still needs explaining after you’ve shown it, the video hasn’t done its job.
