"On Grid" HERO SECTION

SUMMARY

Problem/Opportunity: I wanted to create a website hero section that "Turns On" as it loads, engaging the visitor instantly.
Solution: Inspired by a pc and gaming cpu turning on, I designed a mechanical grid that switches on as the Brand Logo fits exactly in place.

ROLE & SCOPE

Role: UI/UX Designer / Motion Designer / Rive Dev
Client/Brand: Concept design, used Solana, a Web3/Blockchain network to showcase the design vision.
Services: Product Design, Framer Development
Tools: Figma, Rive, Framer

FULL DESIGN PROCESS

1 -> Context & Opportunity Discovery

Inspired by a PC and gaming CPU booting up, I created a hero interaction where a mechanical grid powers on cell by cell, then snaps the Brand Logo into a precise slot, visually “completing the circuit” and making the interface feel like it turns on with the brand
Behind the scences

2 -> Rive Implementation (THE HEART)

First I designed the static hero — the grid layout, logo placement, and overall look — so even without motion, it works as a clean, focused landing section.​
Then I bring those pieces into Rive, animating the grid to turn on cell by cell and the logo to snap into its slot, like a CPU quietly booting up.​
Finally, I’m wrapping everything in a Rive state machine and integrating it into the live site with Framer, so the whole sequence plays smoothly on page load

3 -> Intergration & Text

Created a Live website with Framer integration. Smooth handoff between Rive and Framer thanks to the built-in Rive plugin in Framer.

Created a motion asset Inspired by the turning on of a motherboard when the CPU is attached, which can be integrated in a Hero section of a website.
