Illustrator/Animator

Pay: Up to Rs100,000.00 per month

Job description:

Company: Source Kode Solutions

Location: Onsite Lahore

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We’re seeking a talented and emotionally intuitive Illustrator/Animator to join our creative team in developing high-quality, calming visual content for our mental health awareness app. This role is central to crafting animated experiences that support users through stress-relief exercises, muscular spasm routines, and guided wellness practices. You’ll design original characters and environments in a painterly, storybook style and bring them to life through subtle, soothing animations that align with narration and therapeutic intent.

Key Responsibilities

Illustration & Character Design

Create original character designs in a soft, painterly style (watercolor/gouache-inspired) that evoke warmth and emotional depth

Develop expressive yet minimalistic characters suited for mental health storytelling—gentle smiles, blinks, soft gestures

Animation & Motion Design

Animate characters with subtle movements (e.g., breathing, blinking, scarf swaying) to complement narration-driven scripts

Produce short-form animated videos (1–2 minutes) for exercises targeting stress relief and muscular relaxation

Integrate environmental elements like wind, light shifts, and ambient props to enhance immersion

Therapeutic Content Integration

Collaborate with wellness experts to visually interpret stress-relief exercises and physical routines for muscular spasms

Ensure animations align with therapeutic goals and maintain a calming, non-triggering aesthetic

Platform Optimization

Deliver animations optimized for mobile and social platforms (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok)

Ensure final exports are high-quality, lightweight MP4s suitable for app integration and social sharing

Tools & Workflow

Work with tools such as After Effects, Procreate Dreams, Toon Boom, or similar animation platforms

Manage layered illustrations and transitions (fades, pans, cuts) timed precisely to voiceover narration

Who We’re Looking For

A creative storyteller with a strong portfolio in painterly illustration and minimal animation

Someone who understands the emotional nuance of mental health content and can translate it visually

A detail-oriented artist who can balance aesthetics with therapeutic sensitivity

A collaborative team player who thrives in cross-functional environments with designers, therapists, and developers

Requirements

3+ years of experience in digital illustration and animation

Proficiency in After Effects, Procreate Dreams, Toon Boom, or similar tools

Strong understanding of motion illustration and limited animation techniques

Ability to design characters from scratch in a warm, whimsical style

Experience creating content for wellness, education, or mental health is a plus

Familiarity with optimizing animations for mobile and social platforms

Deliverables

1–2 original character designs in the reference style

1–2 minute animated videos synced with narration

Final exports in MP4 format, optimized for app and social media use

What We Offer

Opportunity to contribute to a meaningful mental health initiative

Flexible work environment with creative freedom

Potential for ongoing collaboration on a video series

A supportive team culture focused on empathy, innovation, and impact

If your portfolio reflects a gentle, painterly style with emotionally resonant animation, we’d love to see it. Help us bring calm, clarity, and care to users around the world.
