• Strong portfolio demonstrating high-craft motion work—including brand identity systems, event titles, animated campaigns, and/or data-driven motion
• Familiarity with motion design systems and how to apply them consistently across contexts
• Deep understanding of animation principles: timing, easing, staging, anticipation, and how motion communicates meaning and brand character
• Exposure to designing for live event environments: LED walls, stage visuals, real-time rendering, and large-format displays
• Familiarity with real-time tools (e.g., Notch, TouchDesigner, Disguise) is a strong plus
• Proficiency with design collaboration tools (Figma, Keynote) and a systems-thinking approach to extending motion across shared patterns and behaviors
• Working knowledge of emerging motion and AI tools and how they fit into a professional production workflow
• Strong track record delivering high quality motion work independently, and in close collaboration with cross-functional partners
• Persuasive and humble in explaining your work, process, and decisions and crave feedback to help you design at your best
