Rive + Webflow Expert – Interactive animations that level up websites
I build animations with Rive that work seamlessly and efficiently inside Webflow, Framer, or any website to help you and your clients tell interactive visual stories.

Visualising journeys with MakeBuild
I partnered with MakeBuild to create these interactive product mockups for their client in the AI legal space. Tabbed options in Webflow control the embedded Rive canvas, bringing their user journeys to life.
"Despite a tight deadline, Josh went above and beyond to turn everything around quickly. His expertise in Webflow and Rive, combined with a sharp design eye, resulted in slick animations that anchor the hero section. Excited to collaborate again."
Tim Janes – MakeBuild
Illustrating every step with Ethan Suero
Ethan's client AppNation wanted an interactive section where a set of animations react as you scroll through the page, to illustrate each point.
"Josh is my go-to Rive animator, he always delivers on time and with killer animations."

Creating an interactive about page with Zaang
Zaang wanted to do something more interesting with their about page. Together we created a cool interactive carousel section that can move in any direction between options.
"Josh delivered a lightweight, interactive Rive component that brings our company values to life in a way that’s engaging and on-brand. He provided clear integration guidance and the result performs beautifully, with interactions that feel natural and the subtle flourish we hoped for."
Sean Patterson — Zaang
Giving a strong first impression with Shrink Studio
Shrink came to me with this isometric graph illustration for Marple's homepage. I brought it to life with a subtle build and continuous loop to engage visitors.
"Josh worked with us on both our own brand animations and a client project for Marple, bringing ideas early and problem-solving throughout. The outcomes consistently exceeded the brief and added real value to the final work."

Why Rive?
Rive is a powerful, vector based animation tool. My top reasons for using it:
Quality
Rive is extremely capable when it comes to complex animations and effects.
Interactivity
Rive allows me to build much more interactive graphics than competing formats such as Lottie.
Performance
Rive files are extremely lightweight*, and are vector based, so graphics are scalable.
*The file for the interactive illustrations shown here is only 10kb.
How it works
Every project is different, but my main focus is helping you to keep moving quickly, so we don't need multiple long meetings, just a clear plan and then I get going.
01
Quick Chat
Let's discuss your needs, and make sure the brief is clear.
02
Design FILES
I can design from scratch or you can handover mockups or complete files for me to work from.
03
Production
I do some early mockups for testing and feedback, and then get to work on producing the final assets.
04
Handover
I send you the files and provide a video walkthrough, written instructions, and a Webflow example to work from.
FAQS
I can turn designs around pretty quickly — the most time consuming part is often preparing the files for Rive so it does depend significantly on how your designs (e.g. Figma files are set up). The average job similar to those shown above is around 2-3 days turnaround.
Yes! For the most part, what you can achieve in Figma can be 100% replicated in Rive, though it does things slightly differently for performance reasons, so there may be compromises. I can advise on the best way to tackle your designs.
With the Webflow native integration there are some limitations currently since they haven't updated to the latest Rive runtime. It's still the best solution in a lot of cases, but where it doesn't work we can use a custom code solution.
Rive is not a 3D animation tool by design, but some 3D-like effects are achievable. It really depends what you're going for, but it's not 3D modelling tool. If you're looking for something more like that, I'd be happy to recommend someone to work with you.
Yes! As an experienced UX and UI designer I can help you with designs from start to finish. Check out my design work if you're interested. Note, my work is mostly focussed on animating UIs, explaining products and storytelling, so I'm not like some Rive animators who are more focussed on character design and such. If you need someone like that, I'm happy to connect you.
Sorry, there's no easy answer here, but if you give me a little information about your project I will get you a quote as quickly as possible (usually within 48 hours).
