Hi! I’m a designer, art manager, and 2D animator specializing in Rive animation for mobile apps, games, and digital products. I create smooth, expressive, lightweight animations that developers can easily integrate into Flutter apps, websites, and interactive products. Beyond animation production, I also help teams maintain strong visual consistency, guide creative direction, and curate high-quality artwork and motion systems for brands and products. 🔥 I Can Create: • Interactive Rive animations (state machines, transitions, triggers) • App microinteractions (tap, swipe, drag, onboarding) • Animated app mascots & characters • Loading screens, buttons, icons • Character loops for mobile games • Animation clean-up & optimization for Flutter developers • Art direction & visual consistency for animation pipelines • Creative guidance for illustrators and animation teams • 4+ years creating animations for mobile apps & startups • Strong collaboration with developers (Flutter + Rive workflow) • Experience managing visual quality and cohesive art direction • I create animation that improves UX, not just “decorations” • Strong illustration background with storytelling and character design expertise 📱 Notable Project: Animated the entire visual system for a mobile mental-health pet app, including characters, UI transitions, environments, and interactive elements. Worked closely with engineers to optimize performance while maintaining a cohesive artistic style across the product. 🎨 Community & Creative Leadership: I also co-organize Sketch Breakfast in Rzeszów — a local art community focused on sketching events, exhibitions, and creative collaboration. This experience strengthened my skills in art curation, creative feedback, and working with artists in collaborative environments.
