This little guy I have been working on has more emotional states than I do before my morning coffee 😭 One character. Eight different moods. One rig. That’s what I loovee about building characters in Rive (https://www.linkedin.com/company/rive-app/) . Once the rig is set up, the same character can wave, think, celebrate, look concerned or even fall asleep, all while staying consistent. And tbh it makes interactive mascots far more practical than most people realize. Here’s a little behind the scenes from one of those rigs in progress 👀

Hi Guys!! I am Sarim! A Rive & Lottie animation specialist. But hey quick background. I didn’t start with animation. I started with… accounting. Yeah, not the most exciting path. Just one of those that “seems like the safe option” choices. Animation came when I was bored and felt stuck. Tried it out and realized "hey this is my passion". Took a start from zero on Upwork, turned that into $70K+ in projects, hit Top Rated Plus, and worked on launches like Fluyo (the one that crossed $1M on Kickstarter). Then I discovered #Rive & #Lottie. I realized interactions actually make people stop and notice. It makes the products feel more alive. So that's what I focus on now. I am now here to share little ideas, quick breakdowns, and ways to make apps and websites feel less boring. Let's see where this takes me 👀
