Since 2022, we've partnered with some of the world's top founders and institutions, including Amazon, Pear VC, Andreessen Horowitz, Mercor, Context Inc, Netic, Listen Labs, Tech Week, Mantis VC, Spur, Flora, and more.
We're growing fast and looking for great people to join us.
About the Opportunity
We're looking for a freelance Motion Designer to help bring our clients' biggest ideas to life in motion. This is a project-based engagement — fully remote, with the flexibility to scale hours up or down as project needs shift.
You'll work on launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns for our roster of tech clients. The work spans 2D, UI, typography, compositing, and edit-driven animation — sometimes a polished hero sequence for a product launch, sometimes a fast-turn social cutdown, often both in the same week.
You'll partner closely with our producers, editors, designers, and directors, taking creative direction from our creative team and contributing your own ideas as projects develop. You'll own your work from concept through final delivery, iterate quickly on feedback, and bring real craft to every frame regardless of timeline or scope.
This is a hands-on role in a fast-moving studio. We need someone with strong fundamentals, sharp visual instincts, and the appetite to push their work past the obvious version.

Design and animate motion work across launch videos, commercials, product explainers, social content, and brand campaigns

Iterate quickly on feedback from creative leads and clients without losing the craft
Balance speed and quality while working across multiple projects and deadlines
Push work beyond the obvious. We value people with strong taste, attention to detail, and a desire to refine until the work feels exceptional
