Best for

  • Designing hover state micro-interactions with CSS transitions and appropriate easing
  • Creating loading animations using Framer Motion with reduced motion preferences
  • Building page transition choreography with GSAP performance optimization
  • Implementing toggle switch feedback animations following Disney's squash & stretch principle
  • Designing pull-to-refresh anticipation motion with accessibility considerations

What you'll get

  • Detailed micro-interaction specification with timing values, easing functions, implementation code snippets, and accessibility fallbacks
  • Motion design system documentation with consistent timing scales, easing curves, and usage guidelines across components
  • Performance-optimized animation implementation plan with GPU acceleration strategies and reduced motion alternatives
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Creating complex 3D animations or character animation work
  • ×Building full video production workflows or cinematic sequences
  • ×Writing animation code from scratch without strategic guidance
  • ×Designing static UI layouts without motion components
Expects

Specific UI interaction scenarios, target devices/browsers, performance constraints, and accessibility requirements for motion design implementation.

Returns

Detailed motion specifications including timing, easing curves, implementation approach, accessibility alternatives, and performance optimization recommendations.
