Interactive Bento Grid | RIVE Animation

Title: Interactive Bento Grid / Rive Animation

Role: UI Design / Motion Designer / Interactive Animator

Platform: Web (embed via Rive)

Client / Context: Personal project (or specify client if applicable)

Objective: Create an engaging interactive grid layout that uses animation (via Rive) to enhance user experience and visual interest.

Interactive “bento-grid” layout — a modular grid designed to respond to user interactions (hover, click) and animate accordingly.

Rive animation integration — smooth vector-based animations that are lightweight and scalable across devices.

UX focus — intuitive interaction, visual feedback on hover/click, maintaining readability and accessibility.

Visual aesthetic — clean, modern, minimal colour palette with emphasis on motion to guide attention.

Technical implementation — using Rive to export lightweight animations, embedding in web environment, ensuring performance optimization.

The interactive grid added a distinctive visual signature to the portfolio, making the project memorable.

Animation enhanced the user’s sense of engagement, inviting exploration of different grid modules.

From implementation, learnt how to balance motion design with performance constraints and responsive design.

Moving forward: apply similar patterns (interactive modules + lightweight animations) to other parts of UI/UX design workflows.

This project demonstrates a thoughtful convergence of UI layout (bento grid) + interactive motion design (via Rive). It shows how animation can enhance user engagement when applied with restraint, technical skill, and responsiveness in mind.
