Dr. Fixy - Interactive Character in Rive Designed the character from scratch and made it interactive in Rive. Not just an illustration - something that reacts, responds, and feels alive. This is the kind of detail that turns a good product into a memorable one.

Match - Interactive Flame in Rive

The idea was simple: make a match feel alive in the browser. The flame reacts to your cursor movement, sways, flickers - and when you click, it goes out. Smoke curls up and drifts away. Everything is built in Rive using state machines and cursor tracking. No code libraries, just pure animation logic. Sometimes the best way to learn interaction is to build something tiny and make it feel real.

Rive's most famous toaster makes a new appearance, this time for the Rive Character Challenge!

In this mini-game, the main characters are the toaster and the bread. Pull the lever, and be careful not to turn our friendly slice of bread into charcoal.

Every street performer deserves a companion.

This musician cat was built for an app serving street artists — designed to feel friendly, charismatic, and alive inside the product.

15 states driven by a state machine: he plays guitar, piano, sax, flute, dances, thinks, celebrates, greets, and more. All triggered by inputs, all connected to what the user is doing.

Scoped and delivered end-to-end: concept, character design, and Rive animation.
