I built an interactive weather character in Rive for a weather app UI. The character reacts to forecast states and interface interactions, turning weather data into a more expressive and playful product experience @rive.app 🌭🐶

One of my favorite parts of building UNEO was experimenting with interactive shader backgrounds.
I wanted to move beyond the usual SaaS gradients and static hero sections, so I built a WebGL shader system with customizable presets and controls.
The goal was to make the website feel more like a real product experience while keeping it flexible for different brands.
A few things included:
✦ Interactive shader backgrounds
✦ Custom visual presets
✦ Adjustable controls
✦ Smooth Framer animations
✦ SaaS-focused layouts
The shader system was one of the most challenging parts of the project, but also one of the most rewarding to build.
