Motion Design System
Consistent Micro-interactions at Scale
A comprehensive motion design system that provides consistent, performant animations across web applications. Built with accessibility and performance as core principles.
The system includes pre-built animation primitives, timing functions, and composition utilities that make it easy to create delightful interactions without sacrificing performance.
Every animation is designed with reduced-motion preferences in mind, ensuring the experience remains accessible to all users.
Features
- Library of 50+ reusable animation primitives
- Consistent easing functions based on material design principles
- Automatic reduced-motion support
- Stagger and orchestration utilities
- Spring physics for natural-feeling animations
- Performance monitoring and optimization tools
