I design and build interactive characters that live inside apps, games, and websites. These aren't pre-rendered video loops - they're interactive systems with emotional states, behavioral hooks, and customization options that your dev team controls programmatically.
My largest engagement in this space was a $76K, 6-month character system for an educational app: two interactive avatars with 13 emotional states, skinning, customization, UI button components, a layered background system with galaxy and particle effects, and audio integration. 103 animations across 9 state machines and 3 ViewModels. I also built the "Willo" character for a developer education platform - responsive layout, parallax backgrounds, emotional state animations used in their game and on their website.
Your engineers get a working demo in their framework (Flutter, React, standalone HTML), architecture documentation, and a structural analysis of the file before we even get on the handoff call.

What's included:

Interactive character system - A fully rigged character built in Rive with emotional states, behavioral hooks (speaking, listening, idle, custom triggers), and state machine architecture. Your dev team can trigger states, swap skins, and bind data without touching the animation file.
Developer handoff package - Binary file analysis, architecture diagrams, developer documentation, and a working demo in your framework. Your engineers get a running prototype, not a Figma link.
