About Stephan

Hi, I'm Stephan, Rive expert and Creative Technologist. I love bringing things to life with interactive animations, motion design, and UX/UI. Do you have a project in mind with Rive, whether for web, app, game, or directly from Figma? Then let's talk about it.

The great thing is: I'm not working alone. I'm part of Lornlight Interactive Motion, our Rive Studio, where Rive Designers, Motion Designers, Illustrators, and really good Rive Developers work hand in hand. This way, design and code sit at the same table with us and speak the same language.

What we're really proud of: We are the only team in the DACH region officially recognized as experts by Rive itself. We bring your Figma designs cleanly into Rive, as a lightweight and scalable Lottie alternative. With State Machines and Data Binding, our animations react in real-time to your users, to states, and to live data.

What this means for you: Design, interactive animation, and the final file come from a single source with us. Your team receives a clean, production-ready component with documentation. And if you like, we can also take care of the integration for React, React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android, or Web. Since we have capable developers in the team, we are happy to advise you, support you in the implementation, and help with the integration.

I look forward to hearing from you and your project.
