Design and animate motion systems for various surfaces: interaction motion, component behaviors, transitions, and “moments of delight.”
Create expressive 2D animations (and occasional 3D/hybrid work as needed) for product storytelling, launches, and in-product education
Partner daily with Product Designers and Engineers to prototype, refine, and ship motion that matches design intent and performs well in production
Collaborate with broader XFN partners (creative direction, brand, illustration, content design, research, marketing/communications) to align motion with product goals and narrative
Translate ambiguous asks into clear motion concepts, explore options quickly, and iterate with feedback
Contribute to motion guidelines, documentation, and reusable assets so work scales across teams and stays consistent
Present work with strong rationale—tying motion decisions to user outcomes (comprehension, confidence, reduced friction)
