Motion Designer

About The Role

• Push creative boundaries to develop innovative digital designs and aesthetics.
• Set and maintain design styles, ensuring consistency across formats.
• Collaborate with designers, copywriters, and creative leads to produce high-quality integrated visual designs.
• Manage the design process, providing fresh perspectives and solutions to enhance work quality.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience, focusing on motion design for digital and advertising.
• Exceptional portfolio presented in both motion and static examples.
• Strong animation skills with a good sense of rhythm and timing.
• Proficient in the Adobe suite, with strong file and folder organization.
• Experience across all stages of the process, from concept to final execution.
• Solid understanding of design fundamentals such as typography, flow, and storytelling.
