Digital Designer (Motion & Brand)

We’re on the hunt for a skilled Digital Designer (Motion & Brand) to join our team. 

We’re a fast-paced, ideas-driven creative agency looking for a Digital Designer who’s as comfortable with motion as they are with typography and layout. You’ll collaborate closely with art directors, copywriters, and strategists to concept and execute compelling brand-aligned work—everything from animated social ads to immersive digital experiences. You bring a sharp design eye, smart ideas, and the technical skills to bring them to life in motion.
