Hi, we’re The Workhouse.
WE’RE A BOUTIQUE DESIGN STUDIO building CONSIDERED BRANDS through STORYTELLING and HUMAN CONNECTION.

We’re seeking a talented motion designer with UI/UX skills to help bring our work to life beyond the static world. As design evolves, so do the ways brands connect with people. Motion adds depth, making brand experiences feel dynamic and memorable.

At our studio, creativity is all about listening, observing, and finding inspiration in everyday moments. Our work is a labor of love, bridging the world of our clients and their audiences.

In this role, you’ll combine motion, design, and functionality to create digital experiences that feel both impactful and memorable.

• Maintain high standards of quality across all outputs, ensuring that motion graphics, animations, 3D elements, and UI/UX designs consistently meet brand and project objectives.
• Receive and integrate constructive feedback throughout the design process to refine and improve each project iteration
• Identify and address any challenges in digital and motion projects, working proactively to keep the workflow smooth and efficient
• Design and prototype interactive elements that are both intuitive and visually compelling, using motion and 3D elements to create an engaging, user-centered digital experience
