Drive innovation by staying updated on the latest motion design trends, tools, and techniques, sharing insights with the wider team.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with producers, graphic designers, copywriters, and other creative stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of motion elements into broader campaigns. Interpret storyboards, scripts, and style frames, translating them into dynamic animations that resonate with target audiences.

  • Quality Control & Efficiency: Review and refine motion designs before final delivery, ensuring polished outcomes that meet both creative and technical standards. Identify and implement opportunities to streamline the production process, optimizing workflows for the entire motion design team.

  • Innovation and Trendsetting: Be a leader in motion design trends and experimentation, technologies, and best practices, integrating new ideas and approaches into our design process.

  • Quality Assurance: Conduct thorough quality checks on all designs, ensuring they meet the highest standards of quality, functionality, and brand alignment.
