Enhancing user journeys with smooth animations, micro-interactions, and polished UI experiences in React Native.

It’s common to create animations and feel that something is still missing. The motion is there, but the app doesn’t quite feel alive—and it’s easy to settle for that. This talk explores how to move beyond defaults and craft immersive animations by combining Reanimated and Skia. We’ll dive into simple yet powerful techniques for refining motion, optimizing performance, and adding a few "secret ingredients" to surprise your users.

Explore the essentials of Rive, followed by a hands-on session creating and implementing animations in a React Native app.

This workshop is a perfect starting point for your animation and interaction journey in React Native. We’ll take the time to guide you through the basic concepts of Reanimated and Gesture Handler.
