Motion Designer

About Us

At MeanPug, we believe every law firm has a unique story—and we help bring it to life through branding, web design, digital advertising, content, and more. We're a fast-paced, collaborative, and ambitious agency. We help our clients grow big, and we're growing right alongside them.

The Role

You’ll work closely with senior creatives, strategists, and developers to concept and produce motion-first digital experiences that feel alive. This role focuses on motion design for brands and products—think animated identities, web interactions, product explainers, and social content—while exploring how AI tools can supercharge your creative process and workflow.

What You'll Do

• Concept, storyboard, and design motion assets for brand systems (logo animations, typographic motion, graphic systems in motion)
• Create short-form video, animated explainers, social ads, reels, and GIFs for a variety of brands
• Design and animate UI/UX motion for websites and digital products (microinteractions, transitions, scroll animations, hover states)
• Adapt static brand and campaign designs into dynamic motion pieces that feel cohesive and on-brand
• Use AI tools (e.g., Runway, Midjourney, Firefly, Figma AI, ChatGPT) to brainstorm concepts, generate visual references, and streamline production
• Collaborate with creative, content, and strategy teams to ensure motion, sound, and visuals align across all client touchpoints
• Participate in creative reviews, share work-in-progress, and bring fresh, experimental motion ideas and techniques to the table

• 1–2 years of experience in motion design (internship experience counts)
• Strong portfolio showing motion design work
• Familiarity with motion design software (Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, After Effects, etc.)
• Curiosity and hands-on experience with AI design tools (e.g., generating assets, editing visuals, creating campaign concepts)
• Understanding of visual storytelling, composition, and typography
• Collaborative mindset and ability to manage multiple projects with attention to detail

Bonus Skills

• Interest in video editing or creative coding
• Experience designing for paid media campaigns (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube)
• Passion for tech, AI, or innovation in digital design

• Work at an agency known for doing it all—branding, web, ads, content—with lots of variety and growth potential
• Opportunity to shape the visual identity of law firm clients (a niche market) and work on high-impact campaigns
• Be part of a smart, driven, creative team that believes in doing excellent work and having fun
