Interactive media icons.

Hover & click states built in Rive

The aim was to transform static icons into expressive UI elements that communicate function, state, and intent through motion, while maintaining a clean and minimal visual language.

Most interfaces are designed to be used.

I wanted to build one that wanted to play back.

And here's Monster Snacks — a living cartoon UI where tiny chaotic monsters exist inside the interface itself.

Buttons panic when hovered. Menus stretch like chewing gum. Cards bounce with jelly physics. Monsters eat UI elements, chase the cursor, trigger candy explosions, and turn the entire screen into a playable animated playground.

The goal wasn’t to make a “clean UI”.

It was to create something that feels: ✨ impossible ✨ alive ✨ weirdly joyful ✨ impossible to ignore

Every interaction was designed with exaggerated squash/stretch motion, playful chaos, cartoon physics, and nonstop visual reactions to make the interface feel more like an animated toy universe than a website.

Traditional UI keeps us in boxes. I wanted to build an interface that was alive, fluid, and capable of actual panic.

Meet The Singularity Core: a physics-driven, sentient narrative interface that literally melts across layout constraints to hijack the screen. It isn’t just a dashboard you command; it’s a living entity that breathes, emotes, and reacts.

By replacing rigid grids with a centralized ferrofluid engine, the Core physically reaches out to grasp and manipulate data nodes. It doesn’t just display information—it consumes and interprets it, shattering every conventional rule of UI layout.
