Interaction craft pass lands
Navigation, page masks, smooth scrolling, and shared element transitions formed the first signature interaction layer.
Why It Matters
Signal and outcome
Made the portal feel authored rather than assembled, while keeping navigation fast and legible.

03
Kept reduced-motion behavior usable for continuous floating, parallax, and route animation moments.
