Bringing Annie to Life – Animating for Layla Network

Role: Animation & Interaction Design

Project Overview

Some projects push you creatively, and working on Annie was exactly that. Layla Network wanted an AI chatbot that wasn’t just smart but also visually expressive. My role? Making sure Annie felt alive through animations that added personality and engagement.

The Challenge

Annie needed to be more than a text-based assistant. She had to react naturally, show emotions, and feel intuitive in conversations. My job was to create animations that made interactions feel smooth and dynamic.

Blending animation with AI was an exciting challenge, and seeing Annie go from a concept to a fully interactive chatbot was incredibly rewarding. This project showed how motion design can enhance user experience, making technology feel more human.
