Vector Illustrations and Lottie Animations Project

I had a blast working on this project. The goal was to turn a few reference images into clean vector illustrations and then bring them to life with Lottie animations. I handled everything from redrawing the visuals to animating smooth, web-ready motion.

Even though the project didn’t move forward, it was a rewarding experience. I got to experiment with different animation styles, polish my workflow, and have some fun along the way. Every project teaches me something new, and this one reminded me how much I love turning simple designs into something that moves and feels alive.

I was approached to help transform a set of reference images into clean, scalable vector illustrations, and to create Lottie animations from those vector files for use in a digital product.

I began by carefully recreating the images as detailed vector graphics, focusing on clean geometry and consistent styling. Once the assets were finalized, I moved on to animating them in After Effects, optimizing each composition for smooth playback and efficient Lottie export.

Although the project didn’t proceed past the initial animation stage, it was a valuable and enjoyable experience. I refined my vector-to-Lottie workflow and experimented with subtle motion techniques to make the animations feel lively and polished.

Even when a project doesn’t reach completion, I see it as an opportunity to grow creatively and technically, and this one was no exception.
