From static frames to a moving system.

A wireframe lies. It tells you something works because the user understands the layout — not because the experience holds together under their thumb. Every Helix surface had to survive a five-minute task before it earned a place in the system.

I prototyped in Figma for layout, then re-built each surface in Framer + Lottie + a hand-rolled state machine to prove the motion model. The microinteractions in section three were the load-bearing ones — they're what made the system feel alive instead of computed.
