The Challenge
Orbit Creative's digital products had inconsistent animation patterns, each developer implementing their own approach. This led to a fragmented user experience, heavy bundle sizes from redundant animation libraries, and slow development cycles.
Our Approach
We created Stellar Flow, a comprehensive motion design system that standardizes all animations across the product suite. The system includes a library of pre-built components, a visual animation editor, and performance-optimized rendering pipelines.
Technical Architecture
- Framer Motion as the core animation engine for React components
- GSAP for complex timeline-based scroll animations
- Lottie integration for designer-to-developer handoff
- Storybook documentation with interactive animation previews
- Tree-shakable exports reducing unused animation code
Business Impact
Animation bundle sizes decreased by 45% through shared, tree-shakable modules. Development speed for new animations doubled with the component library. User engagement metrics improved 18% with consistent, polished motion design across all touchpoints.
