Who this is for Startups, product teams, agencies and brands who want motion that does something. Hero animations, onboarding sequences, animated mascots, loading states, button and toggle micro-interactions, and characters that react to scroll, hover, tap or live data.

Why Rive instead of Lottie or video Rive animations are interactive. A state machine lets one file respond to input, so a mascot can follow a cursor, a toggle can animate between real states, and an illustration can react to what the user is doing. Files stay small, they scale without pixelation, and the runtime gives your developers control at runtime rather than a fixed clip. If you have Lottie files that feel static, they can be rebuilt in Rive.

Runtimes I deliver for Web and React, React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android, and Framer. You get a .riv file that drops into your stack, plus the guidance to wire it up.

You send the brief, brand assets and any reference you like. If you are not sure what is possible in Rive, describe the feeling and I will tell you what is realistic.

I design and rig the animation, including the state machine and the inputs your developers will control.

You get the .riv file, a preview video, the editable source, and an implementation guide.
