Origin Story

By Kshitij Minglani

The Problem

Adding animations to apps required heavy GIF files or complex video embeds that slowed performance.

Building It

Built around Airbnb's open-source Lottie format, grew into the default animation platform.

What It Means

Animations should be as lightweight as SVGs and as easy to use as images.

The Dream

To make motion design a standard part of every digital experience.
