Freelance Interaction / Motion Designer (Product / UI / Motion)

Start: ASAP
Duration: 3 months (likely to extend)
Rate: £450/day via Umbrella
Onsite: 5 days per week
Location: East London

What You'll Do

Motion Design:

  • Define and deliver the motion system for a mobile product experience:
    • Loading and processing states - how the interface communicates that work is happening.
    • Transitions between contexts - smooth, purposeful movement as users move between tasks.
    • Approval and confirmation choreography - moments where users pause, review, and act.
    • Content appearance - how new information reveals itself on screen.
    • Error and recovery - how the interface communicates problems gracefully.
    • Micro-interactions - the small things: button feedback, expansion, selection, reorder.

Iconography:

  • Design a cohesive icon set from scratch:
    • Functional icons across multiple capability areas.
    • State indicators - processing, success, failure, pending.
    • Any illustrations for empty states and onboarding.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
