Motion Graphics Designer & Animator 🔥


Big Honkin’ Ideas (BHI) is looking to build our roster of creatives with freelancers to support our burgeoning graphic/motion design needs. This is a remote position (WFH) with opportunity for permanent full-time placement. 

You could be a freelancer at heart looking project-based work. Or, you could also be interested in a part-time retainer, allowing you to expand your client roster, or increase your flexibility for a better work-life balance.
