Meet Dewey 💧 Your Favorite Water Enforcer
Standard hydration trackers usually rely on boring, static progress bars. For my second entry into the @rive_app Interactive Character Challenge, I wanted to see if I could replace a progress bar with an emotional feedback layer that actually motivates the user.
Enter Dewey.
Instead of just checking a box, your input directly affects his well-being. At zero glasses, he is shriveled, dark, and gasping. But as you log your water intake, Dewey gets rehydrated and transforms into a plump, sparkling, fully-hydrated companion.
Behind the Build:
Vector & Rigging: Fully hand-crafted UI and character mesh, rigged specifically for dynamic state changes.
Logic: Built a custom Rive State Machine to seamlessly connect the UI buttons (Register a Glass, Reset) to Dewey’s physical transformations.
Audio Design: Baked custom timeline audio (gulping, squeaks, and dehydrated breathing) directly into the keyframes for frame-accurate sound design.
Check out the video walkthrough below, or play with the live, interactive UI yourself right here:

Animation loops are nice, but for me, interactions are what bring characters to life.
Rive Interactive Character challenge has just begun so I wanted to share one of my favorite features: bone rigging.
For beginners looking to join the challenge, I’m sharing a quick walkthrough in the comments below 👇
It covers how to set up a simple character rig using IK, making it easier to animate and control movement.
Best of luck to everyone joining the challenge!
It's been a while since I last posted a project on my portfolio and today I am happy to bring this one to you!
Glowora approached me with a clear foundation already in place: a defined logo and brand identity that was not being consistently applied across their existing products. The challenge was to translate that identity into packaging and label designs that truly reflected the brand’s premium positioning.
I love your use of color and composition here.
For Aelia, I was responsible for developing the brand strategy, visual identity, packaging design, and the overall creative direction of the project. My goal was to transform the founder’s unique perspective as a pilot into a distinctive brand experience, creating a clear connection between skincare, travel, and life at high altitudes.
The project began with defining the brand positioning and core narrative, which guided every design decision that followed. I created a visual identity inspired by freedom, protection, and elevation, expressed through a custom symbol, a carefully crafted color system, and a modern aesthetic designed to resonate with frequent travelers and modern explorers. The packaging was designed to reinforce this story, featuring a distinctive circular cut-out that references both the sun and an airplane window, creating a memorable and meaningful brand asset.
By aligning strategy, identity, and packaging under a single concept, I helped build a cohesive brand that feels premium, functional, and emotionally connected to its audience.
I love your use of color and composition here.
