1000heads: Freelance Motion Animation Designer, Social Media

You are immersed in all things design and you sweat the pixel-perfect details (and we love you for it).

You’re as comfortable animating vector graphics as you are retouching images to their most glorious state.

You take joy in making an infographic look delicious, and you thrive when collaborating with a design-savvy team of photographers, copywriters, and creative directors to produce engaging content to nail the consumer packaged goods briefs that come your way.

You’ve got a strong point of view on design outputs and can explain your choices to your team and clients.

You get the technical stuff — design best practices, new techniques, and the latest social platforms — and you’ve got emotional intelligence to boot.
