Static websites are a thing of the past. I help forward-thinking brands bridge the gap between "functional" and "unforgettable" by building interfaces that breathe, react, and engage.
Why Rive? I specialize in Rive because it allows me to ship runtime-ready logic not just video files. This means your product gets 60fps interactive motion at a fraction of the file size of a traditional GIF or Lottie.

What's included

Production-Ready Rive Files
Optimized .riv Asset: The core deliverable is a high-performance lightweight file (often under 50kb) containing the full character rig or UI component. State Machine Logic: A fully configured State Machine within the file that handles all transitions (e.g., switching from "Idle" to "Success") without extra coding. Raw Source Files: Access to the original design layers and rigging hierarchy for future internal updates.
Technical Handoff & Documentation
State Machine Mapping: A clear guide detailing the specific Inputs (Booleans, Numbers, and Triggers) that developers need to hook into their code to drive the animation. Interaction Map: A summary of the "Listeners" used such as mouse tracking or hover triggers so the team knows exactly how the asset will react to user behavior. Implementation Support: Briefing on how to integrate the Rive runtime into their specific stack (Web, iOS, Android, or Flutter).
Quality Assurance & Previews
Interactive Prototype: A web-link preview where the project team can test the interactions (like the cursor tracking or the password "privacy mode") before final handoff. Fallback Assets: High-quality static exports (SVG/PNG) or video loops (MP4/GIF) to be used as backups for legacy browsers or systems that don't support Rive.
FAQs
Unlike static GIFs or pre-rendered MP4s, Rive files are tiny, vector-based, and fully interactive. While Lottie is great for simple loops, Rive uses a "State Machine" that allows the animation to change its behavior based on user input in real-time.
No, performance is a core benefit; Rive assets are typically much smaller than traditional video files, often weighing in at only 30-50kb. They run at 60fps using hardware-accelerated rendering, ensuring smooth motion without taxing the user's CPU.
Your developers simply use a Rive runtime (available for Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, and React) and "plug in" the triggers I’ve already built.
Yes, that is exactly what "state-driven" means. For example, in the "Privacy Bot" project, the mascot reacts specifically when the user focuses on the password field by covering its eyes.
No, once I deliver the .riv file, you own the asset and can host it on your own servers or via the Rive runtime for free.
