2D/3D Motion Designer (f/m/x)

We're looking for a 2D/3D Motion designer to join our team. We value attitude and curiosity over experience, and we're aiming to build an even more diverse, more inclusive environment at MAD. You'll be working alongside our small team of strategists, designers, and engineers, as well as the variety of freelancers we work with regularly.

We build digital products for every screen with a particular focus on the connection between hardware and the software that accompanies it. We have a moral backbone, we're transparent, and we don't take on marketing-oriented work. We aim to build great products for honest clients in a way that empowers our entire team. Realistic goals, room to grow, no crunch time, no low budgets, no time-tracking.

What we're offering

• A relaxed but ambitious work environment.
• A hiring process geared towards fixing under-representation in our company.
• Financial and organisational transparency.
• Good clients. We don't work for assholes.
• Good projects. We say no to a lot of projects that don't align with our beliefs.
• A say in how we work, what we work on, and where we're headed.
• Check out 'Perky Perks' for more info.

• A skillset in motion graphics, 3D, WebGL, interaction design, emerging technologies.
• A background in, or a basic understanding of, design and how it applies to digital products, websites, and identities.
• An interest in digital product design, accessibility, coding, tech, ethical design, and the designer's role in greater society.
