Tea and perfectly looping GIFs are Chris Gannon’s driving forces. Chris is a freelance interactive motion designer, animator, and consultor. His focus lies on interactive animations powered by live data, micro interactions, logo and icon animations. And, well, innovative and playful are the words that best describe his work: his CodePen is a treasure chest of unusual toggles, loaders, and other fun animations. To give back to the community, Chris builds his own tools and contributes them to open source. He also speaks at conferences and gives workshops on animation and interaction design. Thank you for keeping the web in motion, dear Chris!
