Hire Motion Graphics Designers Who Make Brands Move

Motion design is the discipline that makes brands feel alive and information feel dynamic. The motion designers who can create a brand animation system that works across social media, product UI, and video content, who understand the relationship between timing, easing, and the emotional impact of motion, and who deliver production-ready files that video editors and engineers can use without rework — those designers are the ones who make brands memorable in motion.

We match you with senior Motion Graphics Designers who’ve shipped brand motion systems, product UI animation, and video content — designers who understand both the craft of motion design and the production discipline that makes motion work at scale.

Start in days, not months. Pay 50% less than equivalent US-based motion design talent.

What Our Motion Graphics Designers Produce

Brand Motion Systems

Logo animations, brand motion guidelines, animated brand elements, and the motion design work that gives brands a consistent animated identity. Motion systems that work across social media, video, and product — not just a single logo animation.

Social Media & Marketing Video

Social media animations, marketing video graphics, explainer video motion design, and the video content that makes brands stand out in social feeds. Motion design that communicates brand value in the 3 seconds before a viewer scrolls past.

UI & Product Motion Design

Interface animations, micro-interactions, loading animations, transition design, and the product motion design that makes digital products feel polished and responsive. Motion design delivered in Lottie, Rive, or CSS animation for web and mobile implementation.

Explainer & Educational Animation

Explainer video animation, data visualization animation, and the motion design work that makes complex information visually clear and engaging. Animation that communicates ideas that static design can’t.

Motion Design Technology Stack

Animation: Adobe After Effects — the primary tool for motion graphics production

UI Motion: Rive, Lottie (Bodymovin), CSS animation — UI motion design for web and mobile implementation

3D Motion: Cinema 4D, Blender — 3D motion graphics for brand and marketing video

Video: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve — video editing and motion graphics integration

Client Success Story: SaaS Company — Explainer Video That Increased Trial Conversions 45%

A B2B SaaS company’s homepage had a 2.1% trial conversion rate — visitors understood the product category but couldn’t quickly grasp what made this product different. The existing homepage used static screenshots and text descriptions. Our Motion Graphics Designer created a 90-second explainer animation: a problem visualization sequence (showing the pain of the problem the product solves), a product demonstration sequence (showing the product solving the problem in real time), and a results sequence (showing the outcome). The animation replaced the static screenshot section on the homepage. Trial conversion rate: increased from 2.1% to 3.0% — a 45% increase. Time-on-page: increased 40% as visitors watched the animation.

Client Success Story: Consumer App — UI Motion System That Increased App Store Rating 0.8 Stars

A consumer mobile app had a 3.8 App Store rating with “feels cheap” cited in 35% of negative reviews. Our Motion Graphics Designer conducted a UI motion audit: identified 12 interactions that had no animation feedback (buttons that didn’t respond visually to taps, screens that cut rather than transitioned), designed a motion system with consistent easing curves and duration standards, and delivered Lottie animations for 8 key interactions and CSS transition specifications for 4 web-based interactions. App Store rating: increased from 3.8 to 4.6 within 60 days of the motion system launch. “Feels cheap” mentions in reviews: dropped from 35% to 6%.

Why Companies Choose Our Motion Graphics Designers

  • Motion system thinking: They build motion systems that scale — not just beautiful individual animations
  • Implementation discipline: Lottie, Rive, and CSS animation delivery that engineers can implement without rework
  • Brand communication understanding: They design motion that communicates brand values — not just motion that looks impressive
  • 50% cost savings: Senior motion design expertise at a fraction of US market rates
  • Fast start: Most engagements begin within 1–2 weeks

Engagement Models

  • Individual Motion Designer — One senior designer for brand motion, UI animation, or marketing video.
  • Motion Design Teams (2–3 designers) — For production volume: full brand motion system, large UI animation library, or parallel video content production.
  • Contract-to-Hire — Evaluate motion quality, implementation discipline, and team fit before committing long-term.
  • Project-Based — Defined motion scope: brand motion system, UI animation library, or explainer video.

How To Vet Motion Graphics Designers

Our vetting identifies motion designers who deliver production-ready work — not just impressive showreel clips.

  1. Showreel review — Shipped brand and product credits with in-production examples. We look for motion quality, timing craft, and evidence of working within brand direction. Over 80% of applicants do not pass this stage.
  2. Implementation discipline check — Can they deliver Lottie animations, Rive files, or CSS animation specifications that engineers can implement without rework? Motion designers who can only deliver video files create implementation problems for product teams.
  3. Brand adaptation assessment — Given a brand style guide and a brief, can they produce motion that matches the established brand direction? Working within brand direction is the key production skill.
  4. Production pace assessment — Real delivery timelines from past projects: how many animations per week, how many video seconds per day? We match capacity claims against portfolio evidence.

What to Look for When Hiring Motion Graphics Designers

Strong motion designers produce consistent quality at production pace — not just stunning showreel pieces.

What strong candidates demonstrate:

  • Showreel shows brand motion systems and UI animation alongside hero motion pieces
  • They discuss implementation formats proactively — Lottie, Rive, CSS — they understand how their work will be used
  • Motion demonstrates timing craft: easing curves that feel natural, duration that matches the emotional weight of the moment
  • They can adapt their personal motion aesthetic to serve a brand’s communication goals

Red flags to watch for:

  • Showreel is entirely personal style work with no evidence of working within brand direction
  • Beautiful motion pieces with no evidence of implementation discipline — video-only delivery
  • No shipped brand or product credits — personal motion projects don’t demonstrate production discipline
  • Inability to adapt their aesthetic to serve a brand’s communication goals

Interview questions that reveal real depth:

  • “Walk me through a brand motion system you designed. What were the motion principles, how did you ensure consistency across different formats, and how did you deliver the assets for implementation?”
  • “How do you approach designing UI micro-interactions? What timing and easing decisions do you make and why?”
  • “Describe a situation where a client’s brand guidelines didn’t include motion direction. How did you develop motion principles that felt consistent with the static brand?”
