Job description

We're evolving our studio in the turbulent yet exciting times in the creative space. We’re looking for someone with experience and curiosity to bring to the table.

You'll be working closely with our small team, so your mindset is as important as your craft. Here's what we actually screen for before anything else:

1. Communication: The way you communicate has to be respectful, honest and prompt.
2. Motion design is a way for brands to communicate. You need to understand the intent, strategy and the brand behind a creative brief. You then give solutions by offering your taste, visual and motion sense. If you're only executing and pixel pushing without understanding, you’re not a good fit. We need people who understand why we do what we’re doing.
3. Show up when the deadline is real. We don't expect round-the-clock hours. We expect that when a client's waiting, you're in it with us.
4. Tool fluency with judgment. AI, CGI, video, illustration: know your tools well enough to pick the right one, delegate to it, and serve the idea, not the other way around.
5. Ownership. We're small by design: nobody's waiting around for instructions on every step. Every project is a chance to take a risk and get better.

If the above sounds like you, these are the day to day tasks you do in details:
