If you can't justify the responsible use of animation to yourself, your team, and your stakeholders, all the technical expertise in the world is useless. This book explains the why of animation so you can pursue the how with confidence and clarity. -JUSTIN CONE Rachel's easygoing style makes learning the science of animation both accessible and approachable. Not so much a how-to as a why-to, Animation at Work is an invaluable resource for anyone working in the UI space. -AARON GUSTAFSON Animation is too often seen as an afterthought, a nice-to-have relegated to the last leg of the development cycle. Animation at Work teaches you not just how to create thoughtful animations, but how to do so in a way that is modular and scalable-essential knowledge for anyone working with design systems. It's a clear and concise guide I didn't know I needed. -MINA MARKHAM
