• Sometimes working with 3D designer (Blender / Cinema4D)
• Using AI tools in your workflow (Freepik, Midjourney, Kling, Nano Banana, etc.)
• Generating creative ideas, references, and visual concepts using different tools.

What We’re Looking For

✅ 3+ years of commercial experience in motion design

• manage their time

We don’t expect superhuman speed — we expect consistency, responsibility, and love for what you do.
