The person behind the motion.

I’m Praneeth, a product designer and the founder of Kanthaka Labs. My practice brings together interface design, interactive motion and independent product building.

I create motion that developers can practically integrate into their products. From app feedback and SaaS onboarding to website interactions and expressive characters, the animation is designed around real events and the target runtime.

A product perspective.

My broader work includes UI Animation Studio, Mascot Engine and the workflow product CropFiles. Building products alongside design work keeps the focus on useful behavior, readable feedback and implementation constraints.

Expression, with structure.

I help developers turn product states into clear visual responses. Character controls, fallback poses and handoff documentation are considered alongside the animation itself.

The project scope defines the assets, controls and integration support included. Device and runtime compatibility are reviewed against the actual product.
