We’re building a professional database app where every single UI component is powered by Rive, right down to the window controls (- □ ✕).
Database management is usually dry. With Rive, data entry actually feels fun!
But these animations aren't just there to look good. Every motion has a purpose. They're designed to guide users through the interface, maintain orientation, and make interactions feel intuitive rather than distracting.
Instead of interrupting your workflow with intrusive notification pop ups, the UI components themselves communicate status, feedback, and changes exactly where your attention already is. The interface becomes the notification.

Made a four-scene onboarding flow in @Rive
You swipe between scenes, and each one triggers its own animations. Everything on screen is bound to a ViewModel: the amounts, the percentages, the bars, and the donut. The donut is a Luau script that draws the arcs from those same values. Change one number in the data, and the whole screen updates.
Fake brand, real build.
Commendable
Good software isn't just about beautiful interfaces, it's about helping businesses make smarter decisions. I enjoy building dashboards that transform complex data into simple, actionable insights while maintaining speed, scalability, and an intuitive user experience. Every detail is designed to improve productivity and support business growth.
I think this a desktop application. Right?
Built 6 expression states for one interactive character in Rive — small shifts in mood and reaction that make a product feel responsive, not robotic.
Each expression is driven by a single parameter in a state machine, so designers can adjust it and developers just plug in a number — no animation logic buried in code.
This is the kind of detail that turns a static UI into something users actually remember.
Available for interactive Rive animation work for SaaS and app products — reach out if you're exploring something similar.
