a clean, modern fitness app where you can quickly see how ready you are to train and check how the rest of the team is doing... 🤏🏻

Sound design does way more than people notice... here’s a little breakdown from one of the animations i worked on it's one of those things you barely notice when it’s right and immediately notice when it’s missing

Been developing some pretty wild visuals lately. Here’s one of the tests.

been working on the tiny motion details that turn a dashboard from something you look at into something you feel 🤏🏻

clean financial dashboard where you can quickly check your accounts and get to the actions you use most.

I’ve been pushing these visual tests way further than I probably should.

The launch format that keeps delivering? 2D animation. Quick to make, easy to update, always lands. Some recent work:

the part I always enjoy the most. Adjusting the spacing by a few pixels, figuring out how a card should behave and all the small things that make the app feel nice to use 🤏🏻

your users can't name a single small design decision you made. but they're the reason they stayed. 🤏🏻

You could try Jitter or play around with Opus (Claude), but be careful with it. Without proper prompting and clear direction, it can end up being more of a pain than just doing everything manually.

some details take hours and get noticed by no one... people don't remember interfaces. they remember how using them made them feel.

Motion is the fastest language there is... Just finished this animation. Most of the work isn’t actually making things move. It’s figuring out what needs to happen in those first few seconds so you want to keep watching. 🤌🏻

2D animation gives your brand the creative freedom to visualize absolutely anything. It’s not just about moving shapes on a screen, it’s about crafting a narrative that makes your audience feel connected to your product. A few of my recent favorites that I did:

Working on a new launch video... small teaser 🤏🏻

Michael Nowak @mikedesignofficial.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Finally had some time to play around with all the crazy effects I’ve been wanting to try for ages. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but maybe someone here vibes with this kind of chaos? 🔥

When I animate a UI, I spend a lot of time on the tiny things. The timing, the rhythm, the transitions - the way everything moves and settles. Not because people will notice every single detail, but because they’ll feel when it’s right 🤏🏻

Michael Nowak @mikedesignofficial.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
A dashboard can look good in a screenshot. Making it feel good in motion is a different game. The timing, movement, little pauses - people might not notice every detail, but they always feel the difference 🤏🏻

Clear subscription screen with simple plan choices ✨

because small things change the feeling of the whole product 🤏🏻 (some details from recent dash design)

Working on a personal piece, and this transition goes craaazy.

a small teaser from the dashboard animation I’ve been working on.. it’s the kind of stuff that takes a lot of time, even if it only lasts a few seconds. but that’s usually what makes the whole thing feel right 🤏🏻

Michael Nowak @mikedesignofficial.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
A set of screens I actually didn't want to stop refining. Every one has a detail I'm quietly proud of. 🫴🏻 a lot of small decisions adding up (what to show, what to remove, what to make obvious, what to keep quiet, where the user should go next)
