UI​/UX Motion Designer

Contract
· New York or remote (EST preferred)

Estimated Pay Range: $75-$150/hr based on experience

As a Motion Designer specializing in UI/UX, you’ll bring static screens to life – crafting animations and micro-interactions that guide, inform, and delight users across web and interactive experiences. You’ll collaborate closely with our design and development teams to ideate, prototype, and ship motion solutions – from an AI assistant’s onboarding flow to button hovers and dynamic graphic treatments that bring content to life.

Your passion for design and animation at every stage of inception and execution will help us push digital experiences to the next level.

• 3–5 years of motion design or interactive animation experience at an agency, in-house team, or as a freelancer.
• Compelling portfolio showcasing a deep understanding of timing, easing, and visual storytelling through motion.
• A genuine passion and curiosity for design & animation across every phase – from conceptual sketches through final export.
• You thrive learning new tools (AI-driven animation, runtime players, etc.) as projects demand.
• Comfortable iterating rapidly and refining work based on feedback.

Core tools:

• After Effects & Adobe Creative Suite
• Lottie
• Figma
• Spline

Nice-to-have:

• Cinema 4D or Blender
• Framer Motion
• Calvary or other interactive libraries/frameworks

We look for designers who:

• Sweat the details – every frame, curve, and timing nuance.
• Use motion with purpose – to guide, inform, and delight.
• Embrace rapid experimentation and value iterative feedback loops.
• Collaborate seamlessly with engineers, delivering production-ready assets.

• Resume and/or Linked In profile
• A short blurb on your technical expertise, favorite tools, and your approach to storytelling through motion

We appreciate your consideration. We will do our best to view every submission carefully, and in a timely manner. Please allow a few business days for us to get back to your submission, and we look forward to hopefully talking more.
