Custom Rive animation for Elano Studio
Elano is a German studio that sells design, development and AI work as a monthly subscription for Shopify brands. Clean model, but a homepage that has to explain something unfamiliar needs a reason for people to stay on it.
Static illustrations would have done the job. Motion does it better.
I built three custom Rive animations for the site. Not stock loops, not a template pack. They were designed alongside the type and color system in Figma, so they move the way the rest of the brand behaves.
Rive was the right tool for this. Everything stays vector, so it looks sharp at any screen size. It runs as a real animation rather than a video file, which means I could tune timing and easing after the site was already live. And it slots into Framer cleanly, so the motion is part of the page instead of something pasted on top of it.
Cumulative Layout Shift on mobile is 0.021. The motion never pushes the content around while you read.
Designed in Figma. Animated in Rive. Built in Framer.

Excited to share my first motion design animation made with AE.
