We build digital solutions that deliver real impact today and serve as foundations for future growth. Bold ambition. Practical action. Endless possibilities.At Appnovation, we don't just build apps; we create digital experiences that move people. As a global product development agency, we partner with some of the world's most recognizable brands to solve complex business challenges through world-class design and engineering.We are looking for a Senior UI & Motion Designer who understands that the best digital products are a perfect harmony of brand story, functional UI, and purposeful motion.In this role, you will be the bridge between a client's vision and their digital future. You'll work within cross-functional pods-alongside Strategists, UXers, and Engineers-to take traditional brand collateral and transform it into high-performing, motion-rich digital ecosystems. You aren't just styling screens; you are defining how a brand scales across digital ecosystems.Core Responsibilities
  • Agency-Level Brand Translation: Partner with clients to ingest "traditional" brand books and collateral, reimagining those assets into modern, digital-first design systems for web and mobile.
  • Motion as a Language: Use After Effects to move beyond simple transitions. You'll create purposeful Lottie animations for micro-interactions and produce high-impact video content that brings digital products to life.
  • Design System Architecture: Build and scale robust design systems within Figma. You will ensure brand consistency is baked into every component, making the handoff to our global engineering teams seamless and intuitive.
  • Client Collaboration & Pitching: Confidently present your design rationale to stakeholders, demonstrating how motion and visual UI choices align with their broader business goals and brand identity.
  • Product Excellence: Work within an agile environment to iterate quickly, ensuring that every asset-from a hero video to a toggle switch-is polished and performance-optimized.
Technical Requirements & Skills
  • Platform Expertise: Expert-level mastery of Figma (specifically for complex design systems and collaborative workflows).
  • The Motion Toolkit: Advanced proficiency in Adobe After Effects. You must be skilled in creating production-ready Lottie (JSON) exports and short-form video for digital products.
  • From Print to Pixel: A proven ability to translate "offline" brand elements (typography, textures, grids) into responsive, accessible, and interactive digital interfaces.
  • Technical Logic: A strong understanding of front-end constraints. You know how to design for the "edge cases" and how to optimize animations so they don't compromise app performance.
  • Agency Experience: Comfortable managing multiple workstreams and adapting your design style to suit various industries, from healthcare to luxury retail.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years in UI/Product Design, preferably within an agency or high-growth product studio.
  • A portfolio that highlights sophisticated UI work and demonstrable motion design (specifically Lottie/web-based animation).
  • Deep experience in the "Digital Transformation" space-taking legacy brands and making them relevant in a mobile-first world.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative agency environment.
