Hi, I'm Daniel. I run BrightStudios and design brand identity systems and build the websites to match. The throughline isn't industry It's the moment: companies at fundraise, launch, rebrand, or going upmarket. My work spans across SaaS, consumer, hospitality, education, marketplace, and a few that don't fit a category. Started designing at 18. Top 1% on Contra. Framer Partner, Webflow Partner most importantly a Barca fan. A few names you might recognize: DAZN, Contra, Daydream, Hypernative, Marcura, Averi AI, SupaHumans. I put together a reel of recent work, here it is:

Maybe someone remembers me from Contra’s challenge, where I won $3K that was the moment I fell in love with this platform.

I've set myself one goal: 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.

I’ll share what I do to grow here, what works, what doesn’t, and what other freelancers/studios can repeat. Smash that follow button if you want to take on this challenge with me. 𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜? 👀 🐐+ 💬 = ❤️

Cursor Camp, A Real-Time Multiplayer World, Built with Rive

Cursor Camp is a live multiplayer playground where up to 1000 real cursors from around the globe share the same space simultaneously. A beach, lazy river, clubhouse, campfire, soccer pitch, cave, treehouse and more, brought to life through over 40 Rive-powered interactions and animations spanning environments, characters, objects, and interactions.

My role was building the entire Rive layer. Starting from the illustrator’s artwork, I translated everything into interactive systems, rigging and animating scenes, characters, and objects while developing the state machines and behaviours that make the world feel dynamic and alive.

The real challenge was making it data-aware. Using ViewModel data binding and Luau scripting throughout, every animation responds to live runtime input, with cursors picking up objects, triggering states, and reacting to a constantly changing world.

That includes moments like players duetting on a piano in real time, progressively eating an entire cake with each click, adding sticks to a fire to increase its intensity, or dropping ingredients into a cauldron to dynamically change the colour of the broth.

The result is a Rive system ready to be wired into Neal Agarwal’s multiplayer backend, where WebSockets keep thousands of players in sync in real time. It hit the front page of Hacker News on day one, with people asking one question over and over:

How is this running in a browser?

That’s the impossible UI.
