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

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 ( – 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

Ensure final exports are high-quality, lightweight MP s 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
+ 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
– original character designs in the reference style
– minute animated videos synced with narration
Final exports in MP 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
