Job description

Hello There Collective is a female-led creative agency based in Los Angeles, specializing in a 360-degree approach to brand building in the digital space. We work with brands across beauty, wellness, fashion, and lifestyle, delivering performance-driven influencer, content, and social media strategies.

We’re looking for a CGI Designer who can create larger-than-life, scroll-stopping visuals built for social feeds.

This role blends CGI, motion graphics, and AI-assisted workflows to create surreal, culturally relevant content that feels native to TikTok and Instagram — but elevated.

You won’t be building static product renders. You’ll be designing dynamic, cinematic, impossible-to-shoot moments that stop thumbs and spark sharing.

If you think in spectacle, scale, and motion — and you move fast — we want to see your work.

What You’ll Do

• Design high-impact CGI visuals for social-first campaigns
• Create surreal, oversized, hyper-real product moments
• Build motion-driven assets optimized for TikTok, Reels, and paid social
• Use AI tools (Midjourney, Runway, ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion, etc.) to accelerate concepting and execution
• Translate brand briefs into scroll-stopping visual ideas
• Collaborate with creative strategists and editors
• Rapidly prototype concepts for pitches and campaign development
• Optimize CGI content for performance and social formatting
• Push aesthetic boundaries while maintaining brand polish

What We’re Looking For

• 3–7+ years in CGI, 3D design, or motion graphics
• Strong portfolio showing motion-first, high-impact work
• Experience creating content for social platforms
• Fluency in tools like Cinema 4D, Blender, Unreal, Houdini, After Effects
• Experience integrating AI workflows into design process
• Strong sense of lighting, texture, composition, and scale
• Ability to execute quickly without sacrificing quality
• Experience in fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or CPG a plus
• Ability to work both independently and within creative teams

What Success Looks Like

• Content that feels impossible to ignore
• Visuals that elevate brands beyond traditional product content
• Fast iteration and creative velocity
• Concepts that work both organically and in paid media
• Assets that feel culturally current, not over-rendered and sterile
