• Expert-level proficiency in After Effects; strong working knowledge of Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Photoshop

• Experience with Figma and Lottie (or similar) for product integration and developer handoff

• Strong understanding of motion principles for UX (e.g., transitions, hierarchy, feedback)

• Familiarity with accessibility standards (e.g., reduced motion) and performance optimization

• Experience working closely with product teams and engineering

• Ability to manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, and work autonomously in a fast-paced environment

• Clear communication skills and confidence in presenting to cross-functional partners
