UI Animator
Your morning begins in Figma and After Effects creating microinteraction animations for a neobank's mobile app — designing a satisfying confetti burst for successful payment confirmations, a smooth skeleton loading state, and a spring-physics-based card flip transition. Afternoons are spent collaborating with the UX team on animation principles documentation for the design system, reviewing developer handoff specifications in Lottie format, and recording a walkthrough video of 30 animated UI components for the product team's sprint review.
