  • Incorporate feedback efficiently and iterate quickly to meet tight deadlines
  • Deliver final animation files in the required format and resolution

  • Proficiency with animation software such as Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, or similar tools
  • Strong sense of comedic timing and visual storytelling
