2D Illustrator/Animator for Diagram‑Driven Kurzgesagt‑Style Animation

We’re creating a series of short (30–45 second) 2D animations that explain engineering‑inspired concepts in a clean, educational, and visually engaging way. Each video connects ancient survival engineering to modern environmental engineering.

The visual tone should be:

simple geometric shapes

layered depth

clear diagram logic

metaphor‑driven storytelling

smooth, intentional motion

clean vector illustration

We’re looking for an illustrator/animator who can think conceptually and visualize abstract ideas through diagrams, not templates. Someone who enjoys scientific, educational, or systems‑based animation is ideal.

What you’ll be doing:

Creating flat‑vector illustrations

Designing simple, clear diagrams

Animating smooth, intentional motion

Helping translate engineering concepts into visual metaphors

Collaborating on style frames or storyboards as needed

What we’re looking for:

Strong vector illustration skills

Experience with conceptual, scientific, or diagram‑driven animation

Ability to think in systems and metaphors

Clean, modern design sensibility

Proficiency in After Effects + Illustrator

This project has ongoing series potential. Budget depends on experience and style fit.
