Job Description
The role.
A motion designer with experience in design or production studios. You are an animator, motion generalist with a proven passion for 3D. You are ready for more: more responsibility, more experimentation, more of a challenge and more room to grow. You’re fired up about what you do because you believe you can change the world for the better.
Our studio home is based in London (N1), and we come together at least 3 days a week to enjoy the space, collaborate and time together. Studio time and our wonderful surroundings are very important for creativity to thrive. Working together enables us to approach new ideas and inventions creatively and to enjoy the journey.

We are trusted by some of the world’s most interesting companies, including Hulu, Audible, Roli, ITV X, British Land, Formula 1, ESPN, Channel 4, Eurosport, Netflix and AC Milan. Brands that seek to be brave and challenge convention.
We partner with brands and in-house creative teams across the world from our London studio. We seek revolution rather than evolution and embrace change to remain fiercely original.

Who you are.
