About Motion Design careers
Motion is no longer just flair; it is functional feedback in modern interfaces.
Motion designers create the kinetic language that guides users through complex AI workflows and spatial environments. Using tools like After Effects, Rive, and Lottie, they design transitions that reduce cognitive load and bring digital products to life.
Companies like Apple and TikTok invest heavily in motion design to create distinct, high-energy brand experiences that thrive on high-refresh-rate screens and AR/VR platforms.
We feature motion designers, animators, motion graphics artists, and 3D designers working across UI animation, AI-generated content, brand motion, and interactive experiences. Opportunities span tech companies like Apple, Google, and Spotify, AI companies like Midjourney and OpenAI, and streaming platforms like Netflix and TikTok.
Absolutely! Many companies hire remote motion designers, especially AI and tech companies like Discord, Canva, and Framer. Studios and agencies also offer remote freelance work with hybrid flexibility for in-house positions.
After Effects is industry standard, with growing use of Cinema 4D, Blender, Principle, Rive, and Lottie for web animation. AI tools like Midjourney and Runway are increasingly used for concept work. Many roles also require strong graphic design fundamentals. Browse exceptional motion design portfolios for inspiration.
