The best mobile apps feel alive. Every tap gives feedback. Onboarding flows animate smoothly. Loading states entertain instead of frustrate. That's not accidental. It's motion design.
I create custom Lottie animations specifically for mobile apps (iOS and Android). Lightweight, performant, and designed to make your app feel premium without bloating your bundle size or draining batteries.
Where motion transforms mobile experiences:
Onboarding walkthroughs — Animated illustrations that explain features without text walls, boosting activation rates
Tab bar & navigation — Icon morphs and transitions that make navigation feel fluid and responsive
Pull-to-refresh — Custom branded animations that turn a mundane action into a delightful moment
Empty states — Animated illustrations that guide users toward their first action instead of showing a blank screen
Success & error states — Animated confirmations that provide clear, satisfying feedback
Loading & processing — Branded animations that reduce perceived wait time
Why performance isn't a concern:
Mobile apps have strict constraints: bundle size, battery life, frame rate. Lottie animations are vector-based JSON files that render at 60fps with minimal CPU usage. I use dotLottie compression to keep file sizes tiny (often under 20KB per animation).
My process:
Discovery & strategy — We identify touchpoints where motion improves UX, not just decoration
Storyboarding — Animation concepts sketched and tied to specific user actions and states
Custom Lottie creation — Designed in After Effects, optimized for mobile rendering
Platform-specific optimization — Files prepared for both iOS (Swift/Lottie-ios) and Android (Kotlin/lottie-android)
Device QA — Tested across screen sizes and OS versions for fluid, bug-free playback
Developer handoff — Integration-ready files with trigger specifications and playback documentation
Who this is for:
Mobile apps that feel static compared to competitors
Teams whose onboarding completion rate needs improvement
Products that want to feel more polished and premium
Any iOS or Android app that could benefit from strategic motion
