How it works

Step 01

Start a monthly subscription

Instead of booking work per project, you subscribe on a monthly basis. There are no contracts, and you can pause or cancel at any time.

Step 02

Submit motion requests as needed

Send motion requests through a simple Notion portal as work comes up. Requests can be small updates or larger pieces, without needing to scope everything.

Step 03

One request at a time

I focus on one active request at a time to keep turnaround fast and quality high. Once a request is completed, the next one moves into progress.

Step 04

Review, adjust & repeat

You review the work and request revisions if needed. Requests continue moving forward, even as your priorities change.

Meet Terra

A freelance motion designer with 15 years of experience working across tech, agencies, and creator teams. I step in as a motion heavyweight to deliver animated magic under tight timelines.

My background spans product demos, social campaigns, show packages, brand films, experiential projections, AI filters, and documentary work. That range is what allows me to move quickly, ask the right questions, and adapt to different workflows.

This subscription model is a way to bring that experience into a focused, reliable partnership without the overhead of hiring or the unpredictability of project based freelancers.

“The riskiest thing we can do is just maintain the status quo.”

FAQs

Why wouldn’t I just hire a full-time motion designer?

Hiring full-time makes sense when you have a consistent, predictable volume of work and the budget for salary, benefits, and management.

This model is designed for teams whose motion needs come in waves. You get senior-level support when work ramps up, without paying for downtime or scrambling to find an available freelancer.

Do you work with our existing designers or editors?

Yes! I regularly collaborate with in-house teams, editors, and producers to slot motion work into existing workflows. Send me your Figma, Illustrator, Photoshop, or rendered video files.

How do I request my animations?

You’ll submit requests through a Notion portal. You can include references, files, notes, or links. There’s no formal briefing process required, and you don’t need to lock scope in advance.

What is the turnaround time for my requests?

Most short form motion requests are turned around within 24 to 48 hours. Larger requests may take longer and are broken into manageable pieces so progress stays visible and predictable.

What counts as a single request?

A request is one clearly defined task or deliverable. Think adding captions & graphics to a reel or animating a product flow. Larger projects are broken into smaller steps so progress stays steady and predictable.

Can I submit multiple requests at once?

Yes. You can submit as many requests as you’d like. I work through them one at a time in the order you choose.

How many clients do you work with at once?

I limit the number of active subscriptions at any given time to ensure turnaround times and quality remain consistent.

What software do you work with?

I primarily work in After Effects, with supporting tools depending on the project.

Files are delivered in formats that fit your workflow, whether that’s final exports for social, web, or working files when appropriate.

Can I pause my subscription?

Yes. This model works best for ongoing needs, but many clients use it for short bursts of work and then pause. You can subscribe for a month, get what you need done, and pause or cancel when it no longer makes sense.

Do you offer refunds?

Because this is a service-based subscription with work starting immediately, refunds aren’t offered. Once a billing period begins, that time is reserved and work is underway.

That said, there’s no long-term commitment. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time, and many clients choose to subscribe for a month, get what they need done, and then pause.

Do you ever take vacation?

Yes. When I’m unavailable, I give advanced notice and plan around it so work stays on track. For planned vacations, I temporarily pause all subscriptions (so that you’re not paying for the outage).
