Character Creation & Rive Animation for Recipe Hero App

Every great story needs a hero, and for the Recipe Hero app, I brought one to life! Meet a chubby, cheerful puppy who guides users through a world of delicious recipes. This lovable character helps users discover, save, and enjoy even the most creative culinary ideas. While working on this project, I designed and animated three unique options of the character: a sitting one, a flying one, and a playful version chasing its own tail. The flying and tail-chasing options were created specifically for dynamic loading animations, adding energy and personality to the app experience. The sitting character is the one users interact with most. He’s attentive, curious, and full of charm: listening carefully, responding to users, giggling, laughing, and of course… sniffing everything around him. Oh! He can dance too! In addition to the character design and animation, I also created the app icon, ensuring a cohesive and delightful visual identity for the entire product.
