About the Client
A U.S.-based creative studio specializing in video marketing and motion design is scaling its production pipeline. They craft data-driven, authentic content for brands and partner closely with clients to translate complex ideas into simple, engaging visuals. The team values creativity, collaboration, and clear communication to deliver real business results.

Why does this role exist?
The team needs a dedicated UI Designer to translate complex app screens and storyboards into clean, motion-ready user interface flows. This role ensures that motion designers receive precise, simplified, and well-structured UI assets, accelerating production timelines and improving quality.

Motion-Ready Asset Preparation
  • Prepare components, frames, and layered assets in Figma/Illustrator suitable for After Effects
  • Establish naming conventions, grouping, and export settings for smooth motion handoff
  • Create reusable components and variations to support iterative animation
Collaboration & Feedback
  • Work from client directions, screenshots, and full-resolution app screens with high accuracy
  • Partner closely with motion designers and creative leads to refine flows and states
  • Incorporate feedback quickly while maintaining consistency and design rationale
Quality & Consistency
  • Maintain visual consistency across flows (typography, spacing, grids, color tokens)
  • Perform accuracy checks against source material before handoff
  • Document decisions and edge cases within files for team clarity
Workflow & File Management
  • Organize projects in Figma and Notion; communicate progress and blockers via Slack
  • Maintain tidy file structures, components, and page organization for team use
  • Track versions and ensure the latest approved assets are ready for animation
