Cash App Recruitment,

I am very interested in the opportunity for employment as a 2D Animator. I'm an enthusiastic artist with a strong interest in collaborating at your amazing Brand Studio. Currently working as a freelance animator and illustrator, I collaborate with art directors and studios to build exciting stories and expand upon brand images. Along with my 8 years of freelance experience, some relevant in-house studio experience includes my time at VICE News Tonight (HBO), where I worked as a part of the graphics team on important and fast-paced animation projects. Designing motion has always been my passion, and I am excited to learn more every day. In my personal practice, I have been using Square’s services to sell self-published comics, zines, and prints over the years and am familiar and identify with Square and Cash App’s brand design. It would be amazing to join a team whose design has been an important and influential part of my own career up until this point. I will be available to work in the SoHo office and can begin immediately. You can find samples of my work below. Thank you for your consideration!
