I recently ran a 4-week cohort teaching interaction design in @rive_app.

The goal wasn’t just animation, but helping designers think in systems.

From cart logic to drag interactions, everything was built around how UI behaves, not just how it looks.

This is a quick look at the process.

Man, I love seeing experiments like this! 🔥

The fact that you can take simple 2D shapes, use Rive CLI to create a 3D-like effect, and still control everything in the editor is crazy

There’s so much creative freedom to explore with @rive_app, and I feel we’re only scratching the surface 🤯

WIP. I’m working on this demo as a tribute to the Flash sites of that era. One of the things I loved most about that time was the freedom to create unusual, interactive, and unique experiences. @rive_app reminds me of that same freedom. I designed the individual parts of the menu elements as flat faces, then used Rive CLI to create a path effect script that gives the elements a 3D look. The result is really interesting, and I can still use the editor to control the style and animations, making the site unique.

@Lebriga1406 Exactly man! 😁 Good animation should not only look beautiful but also communicate something. Really appreciate your kind words, bro! 🙌🏾❤️

Episode 3: Eniola Who??

The heat is getting intense and NEPA is not helping matters.

Remember to stay hydrated and never shout "Up NEPA" too soon.

How have you been surviving this heat?

@adircode @rive_app They both start from the same transaction pulse, but branch into different animations depending on the outcome. Success resolves into the checkmark, while failed breaks into an amber X with its own motion. 😁

[Daramola Oluwatimilehin @createwithtimi]

Been working on this payment interaction in @rive_app 😁

Exploring how a transaction can morph between processing, success and failed states, instead of just switching screens.

Built the structure with Rive CLI + Codex, then jumped into the Rive Editor to polish the motion.

Still experimenting, but I like where it’s going! 💚

[Lebriga @Lebriga1406]

En este experimento de @createwithtimi, la animación va mostrando si un pago se está procesando, falló o salió bien.

El monto y el destinatario siguen ahí mientras cambia el estado. Podés seguir lo que está pasando con ese pago.

Me gustan las animaciones fluidas. Y me gusta muchísimo cuando, además, me explican qué carajo está pasando.

A new AI model just dropped and Tobi is already on it!
Is this a good thing...or chaos waiting to happen??

What's the craziest thing you've built with AI?

[Daramola Oluwatimilehin @createwithtimi]

@GoddessVyna This is fire 🔥 🤯

Close the deal and deliver professionally.

A good conversation isn’t a secured project.

Before starting, we need to agree on the scope, payment terms, timeline, revisions, and deliverables.

And after delivery, the goal is to leave the client with something their team can actually use.

My biggest takeaway?

Being good at the craft is one thing. Understanding how to communicate its value, manage expectations, and deliver it professionally is another.

Still learning both tho

If you were handling this $1,000 project, what would you do differently?

[Daramola Oluwatimilehin @createwithtimi]

Imagine a fintech startup approaches you with a $1,000 budget to improve its app’s user experience.

As an interactive designer or Rive animator, how would you approach the project from the first conversation to final delivery?

Let’s break it down into 7 stages. 👇🧵

[Daramola Oluwatimilehin @createwithtimi]

Reduce risk without giving away your work.

A client might ask for a free sample before committing.

Instead of immediately agreeing, I can show relevant work I’ve already built or propose a small paid proof of concept.

That way, the client gets something tangible to evaluate, and my time is respected.
