Product Illustrator and Motion Designer
About strideUX
We’re a people-first team that values well-being, growth, and balance. With flexible schedules and a culture of trust, respect, and open feedback, we make work feel meaningful and fun. You’ll join kind, curious teammates who care deeply about great design, client success, and lifting each other up. Our projects span industries and formats—giving you space to explore, solve, and grow, whether you’re diving into a complex UX challenge or crafting a beautiful brand experience.
The Role
We’re looking for a hybrid artist and product-minded designer. Someone who lives at the intersection of illustration, animation, and UI. You should love digital products, understand modern product aesthetics, and feel energized by where AI is taking design.
Your work will show up in marketing sites, product launches, brand systems, micro-animations, concept demos, and all the expressive moments that help digital products come alive. If you’ve ever looked at a beautiful AI product website and thought “I want to make that,” this role is built for you.
What You’ll Do
Create product-focused illustrations for marketing, product storytelling, and visual systems.
Build motion assets and lightweight animations that elevate product experiences.
Translate complex ideas into simple, expressive visuals that feel modern and crafted.
Collaborate with product designers on UI-driven illustration work that extends product identity.
Produce scalable illustration libraries and visual guidelines for clients.
Work with founders, marketers, and engineering partners to ensure visuals feel unified across product and marketing.
What We’re Looking For
4 to 7 years of experience in illustration, motion design, or digital product marketing.
A portfolio that clearly shows illustration excellence and motion sensibility for tech or product-driven brands.
Strong grasp of Figma, After Effects, Lottie, and your preferred illustration tools.
Comfort designing for both static and animated use cases.
Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI, digital products, and the future of design.
Ability to move fast without sacrificing craft.
Who You Are
An artist at heart with a product designer’s brain.
Someone who loves crafting expressive visuals that make technology feel human.
A clear communicator who enjoys solving problems with others.
Organized, self directed, and steady when priorities shift.
Low ego, high craft, always learning.
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
You’ll shape how cutting edge digital products are seen and understood.
You’ll work inside a small senior team that values trust, clarity, and calm productivity.
You’ll take on a wide range of visual challenges across industries and mediums.
You’ll join a studio that cares deeply about people and the environment they work in.
