Chief Design Officer at Duolingo

Today, we announced Duolingo’s second acquisition as a public company: Hobbes, a motion design studio. Motion design—an animation discipline that uses movement to add visual interest to user experiences — is a gap in our current animation pipeline. To date, we have invested most of our energy and focus into character and technical animation. The creatives at Hobbes will bolster our existing animation pipeline, improve our UX, deepen the ways in which users interact with our product, and help further our mission of developing the best education in the world. We are so excited to welcome the Hobbes team to Duolingo—let’s do this! Read more about the acquisition here: https://lnkd.in/dJjpZ2Kz

Welcoming the creative team from Hobbes to Duolingo is a fantastic move. Enhancing user experiences with innovative animation will surely make learning even more enjoyable. #UserExperience #Animation
