• Strong proficiency in Adobe Animate (or equivalent tools like Adobe After Effects, Toon Boom)
• A portfolio showcasing stickman / stick figure / minimalist explainer work
• Ability to take a script or idea and turn it into a complete visual narrative
• Strong communication skills in English (written)
• Reliable internet connection and ability to deliver on tight turnarounds (often 1-3 days per project)
• Bonus: experience in art & design, education, marketing, or media & entertainment content
To apply, please send:
1. Links to 2-3 of your best stickman or 2D explainer samples
