Animation is not just decoration; it is narrative. However, complex motion often leads to laggy, unusable interfaces on mobile devices. I engineer 'Performance-First' motion. By leveraging the GPU, avoiding layout thrashing, and utilizing mathematical techniques like FLIP, I create buttery-smooth transitions and immersive 'Scrollytelling' experiences that work flawlessly even on low-end devices.
The Motion Engine
Advanced Scrollytelling
Using GSAP ScrollTrigger to orchestrate complex sequences. Elements pin, unpin, parallax, and transform based on user scroll, turning a static page into an interactive journey.
React-Native Feel
Leveraging Framer Motion for layout transitions. I implement shared element transitions and spring physics that make the web feel as responsive and tactile as a native iOS app.
GPU Optimization
Zero lag. I strictly animate 'composite-only' properties (Transform, Opacity) and manage the `will-change` property intelligently to offload rendering to the graphics card, keeping the main thread free.
Micro-Interactions
The details that build trust. Interactive buttons, hover effects, and skeleton loaders that provide instant feedback. I use Rive or Lottie for lightweight, vector-based interactive graphics.
Creative Workflow
- 1
Storyboarding - Planning the motion choreography before writing code
- 2
Prototyping - Creating quick proofs-of-concept in CodeSandbox
- 3
Implementation - coding the timelines using GSAP or Framer Motion
- 4
Optimization - Profiling via Chrome DevTools to eliminate frame drops
- 5
Accessibility - Adding 'prefers-reduced-motion' fallbacks for sensitive users
