A few days ago, I didn't know Rive.
Today, I built an interactive Tour de France broadcast concept from scratch.
I learned Rive during the challenge, designed the interface in Figma, illustrated the entire race scene, animated every component, and somehow turned an idea that felt impossible into a working prototype.
Still learning. Still making mistakes. Still having fun.
That's probably my favorite part of being a designer.
Is any of the tools you used paid or pro version?
You're so cool! 🩵
Wow! Amazing work Mara! All the best!
🤍
I love it
Thats a great UI and brand consistent
Hey Mara! Make sure to share your Rive app link to qualify for the prize!
This is amazing, keep it up
Learning Rive by shipping a full broadcast concept instead of grinding tutorials is exactly why it stuck. The state machine is the part that usually breaks people, so going zero to a working interactive prototype in a few days means you already cleared the hardest bit. The race scene animation looks great.
Really cool choice of topic for the challenge🔥

One of the more fun websites we’ve built at Formeta.studio
Dulce Oro started with a brand we built from the ground up, and the website had to carry that same thinking into every interaction.
We built the site architecture around the brand story, wrote the entire website, created a scalable CMS for their US store locations, built a custom age gate, integrated accessibility support, and connected the shop directly to purchasing.
There’s a lot happening underneath what looks like a fairly simple spirits website.
And honestly, that’s our favourite kind of work.
The finished site feels calm and considered, but there’s a proper system holding it all together.
Here’s a little walkthrough of what we built ↓
Fantastic!!
