Hi, I'm Vitaliy — a Motion Designer and Lottie Animation specialist with 3 years of experience helping SaaS products, mobile apps, marketing agencies, startups, and e-commerce brands bring their interfaces to life through motion. I'm Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score across 80+ successful projects. I specialize in Lottie Animation, UI Web Animation, 2D Animation, and modern Motion Designer workflows that combine visual quality with real product usability. Most of my work involves UI systems, onboarding experiences, animated dashboards, SVG animation, interactive animation, and polished product motion for modern digital products. ✦ UI & Web Animation My core focus is Lottie Animation and UI Animation — lightweight, developer-ready JSON files exported from Adobe After Effects via Bodymovin, ready to drop into modern front-end environments. From animated dashboards, onboarding flows, animated icons, micro interactions, and interactive animation systems, every asset I deliver is built to feel like a natural part of the product. I regularly work on UI Web Animation for SaaS platforms, fintech products, AI tools, landing pages, and mobile apps where smooth interaction design directly affects user experience. Good UI Web Animation should feel invisible in the best way — clean, responsive, and perfectly integrated into the interface. As a Motion Designer and Lottie animator, I work closely with front-end developers on SVG animation and web animation using modern development workflows. Whether it’s lightweight web animation for a landing page or advanced UI Animation for a product ecosystem, I always focus on smooth performance and clean implementation. When GIF animation is the better solution for ads, emails, or social media posts, I handle that too with the same attention to timing and motion clarity. I also create SVG animation assets optimized for scalable interfaces and responsive layouts. The Figma-to-animation workflow is central to how I operate. I start from your existing design system, maintain visual consistency, and return polished animation files ready for implementation. Whether it's UI Web Animation, SVG animation, Lottie Animation, or UI motion systems, I always think about how the final result will function inside a real product — not just how it looks in a preview. ✦ 2D Animation & Motion Design Beyond UI, I cover the full 2D Animation and Motion Design spectrum. Character animation, animated mascots, logo animation, animated infographics, whiteboard animation, onboarding sequences, and 2D logo animation built in Adobe After Effects and Illustrator — all created with attention to pacing and storytelling. As a 2D motion designer, I also handle video editing, video production, ad creatives, and video intro & outro packages for brands that need complete animated content systems alongside UI assets. I've worked on automotive visuals, SaaS video production, marketing campaigns, app promos, and social media motion graphics where the goal isn't just animation — it's communication. A lot of clients come to me specifically for 2D Animation that feels modern and premium rather than overdesigned. My approach as a Motion Designer is minimal, interface-focused, and performance-oriented while still keeping enough personality to make the product memorable. I also create custom GIF animation content, UI Animation systems, and logo animation packages for startups that want a more dynamic visual identity. Combining web animation with strong motion principles helps products feel more interactive and engaging for users. When a project needs more depth, I can integrate additional dimensional elements into the workflow while keeping the clarity that makes 2D Animation effective for modern brands. ✦ Tools & Skills Adobe After Effects · Adobe Illustrator · Adobe Photoshop · Figma · Lottie · Motion Graphics · Motion Design · 2D Animation · 3D Animation · UI Animation · Logo Animation · Character Animation · Animated GIF · SVG Animation · Video Editing · Video Production · Video Intro & Outro · Explainer Video · Illustration I also work with: web animation · gif animation · ui ux animation · social media post animation · lottie files · svg assets · after effects workflows · color grading · front-end collaboration · webflow · react · gsap · rive animator ✦ Working with me I keep communication clear, stay flexible during revisions, and focus on making collaboration easy.

If you're looking for someone who can combine strong Motion Design with production-ready Lottie Animation, polished UI Web Animation, smooth SVG animation, and modern UI Animation systems — let's connect 👋

Hi, I'm Regis, a 2D Animator, Interactive Motion Designer and Motion Designer from Brazil specialized in bringing digital products to life. While most animators just hand off a file and leave the rest to the developers, my approach is different. I bridge the gap between design and development. Specializing in Rive and Spline, I create lightweight, interactive animations that respond to user inputs. Because I also have a solid foundation in front-end development (including modern environments like React and Node.js), I test and validate every Rive asset within a real web or app environment before delivery. This means your development team receives a fully functional, bug-free interactive asset, tailored exactly to your tech stack. 🔥 What I specialize in: Interactive UI/UX Animation: Custom state machines, micro-interactions, and responsive animations using Rive. Web & App Integration: Ensuring the .riv files work flawlessly in your specific environment. 3D Web Interactions: Engaging and optimized 3D web elements using Spline. Lottie Animations: Optimized vector animations for web and mobile. 🛠️ My Arsenal: Interactive & 3D: Rive, Spline, Blender Motion & Design: After Effects, Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop Implementation: VS Code, Git, React/Node.js testing environments (I can also handle traditional 2D/3D Motion Graphics, Explainer Videos, and Cutout Animations if your project requires a mixed approach). Let’s build an experience that makes your app or website unforgettable. Send me a message, and let's chat about your project!

Official Rive expert ⭐️ Looking for someone who knows their way around motion magic? I'm your person! I create unique vector characters (Sketch), Rive character animations, lip-sync, splash screens, logos, buttons, and icons - basically, all the eye candy your project needs. (Psst... wanna know a secret? Almost any UI element can be animated - and yes, I can do that too). I'm also diving into the latest Rive Data Binding features: super cool stuff. Oh, and if you need a full UI design for your mobile app or game, I'm all in (using Sketch, of course). Let’s make something awesome together! So, I am available to assist you by providing: ・Unique vector characters created from scratch ・2D animations for games, applications, and websites (Rive app) ・Interactive fully controlled mascot animation ・Talking characters with full lip-sync ・Interactive Icons and Buttons animation ・Customisable character's animation ・Logo creation, redesign, and animation ・Splash screen animation ・Onboarding animation ・Advertisement animation ・Short animated movies for YouTube ・UI/UX design for games and apps ・Redesign of existing UI, awarding it a modern look ・Control of UI design implementation and communication with developers Usually, I start my work with a paper sketch, and once approved, I create a vector picture of the character within the Sketch app. After that (if necessary), I create for my characters a set of facial expressions and body positions that helps a lot to animate them. The deliveries at this step will include original vector images (usually SVG) and, if necessary, any raster formats such as png or jpeg. Next, I import a vector image to the Rive app to animate it. I create animations of any complexity in Rive: from simple idle animations of icons and loaders to complex ones, including walking cycles and whole scene animation. In my work, I use the full range of features provided by Rive: bones, constraints, state machine, data binding. Also, I can make the animations fully interactive by using Rive listeners. The Rive app is something like SVG animation but more advanced and friendlier. It's easy to integrate Rive animations into Flutter mobile applications, iOS, Android, React Native, Web, React, Vue, and Angular. The Rive app native format is .riv, an animated vector image file, which can be integrated into the app or game using Rive's free runtimes. I can also export to animated gifs, .webM, .mov, .mp4, or other desired formats, so my animations can be used everywhere: websites, videos, games, and apps. It is also possible to animate your existing vector artwork if you have it. In case you have a raster image, I also offer a service of manual vectorisation and animation. I show some of my works in Upwork Portfolio, and here are just a few examples of mobile games I've created UI design, app icons, and promotional materials for: Solitaire Classic Klondike from IGC Mobile - 10,000,000+ (Google Play store statistics) FreeCell Solitaire from IGC Mobile - 1,000,000+ installs Hearts Deluxe from IGC Mobile - 100,000+ installs Spider Solitaire from IGC Mobile - 10,000+ installs I'm responsible for my work and try to achieve the best result. I follow modern design trends and also study the art of famous artists and animators from Disney and DreamWorks studios, draw sketches, and create watercolour and oil paintings.
