Job Summary
What You’ll Do
📍Design high-quality motion graphics and interaction animations for web and mobile products. 📍Create motion that is lightweight, performant, and suitable for code-driven implementation. 📍Work with product designers to bring UI concepts to life through motion that enhances usability and engagement. 📍Collaborate closely with engineering teams to ensure animations translate accurately and efficiently into production. 📍Develop motion templates, guidelines, and libraries that support a cohesive motion design system. 📍Balance expressiveness with performance—knowing when subtlety has the most substantial impact. 📍Iterate based on feedback and performance constraints across devices and platforms. 📍Produce motion prototypes, storyboards, and timing specifications for handoff.
