Prepare organized, labeled Rive files for seamless developer handoff; including input/events
Ensure visual consistency and high-quality animation; iterate quickly based on feedback

Proven professional experience in Rive (rive.app) with interactive/UI work (beyond timeline animation)
Strong reel/portfolio showcasing buttons, toggles, menus, and micro-interactions built in Rive
Proficiency with SVG and raster workflows; understands constraints, meshes, and nested artboards
