Senior Motion Designer, UI/3D (Freelance)

Instrument is a remote-first digital product and brand experience agency with over 200 talented people across four teams, each focused on a core offering and dedicated to producing best-in-class work. Our shift to a fully remote model has amplified our ability to foster creativity, build strong relationships, and engage with clients in dynamic ways. This flexibility has not only strengthened our company culture but also enabled us to embrace diverse perspectives. We remain deeply committed to career advancement, personal support, and ensuring a healthy work-life balance for everyone we hire.
You are a designer whose creativity manifests in motion graphics, moving imagery, and bringing experiences to life across screens of all types. You understand how objects moving through space and time can communicate as much as the forms of the objects themselves. You’re always pushing to make the best work, whether it’s bringing an interface to life, telling a complex story, or creating the perfect transition. 
You connect everything you do to the goals of the project, never getting distracted by something that doesn’t tie back. You love the art of storytelling, but you specialize in UI/UX animation. You’re not scared to try out new technologies and visual approaches. Your style is collaborative and vocal; you engage your team and projects with openness, thoughtfulness, and hard work. You’ll be a lynchpin, so there's no hiding behind anyone else in this role.
You are available from 10/28-11/8 at 40 hours/week.
