Iluustrator/Animator

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.
