Nordstrom · Denver, CO, USA ·

Pay:
$72,000-$100,000/yr

We want someone whose User Journey Mapping and Visual Design feel less like skills and more like reflexes in the Motion Graphics Designer seat at Nordstrom. Picture this: a freelance Motion Graphics Designer seat in Denver, paying $72,000 - $100,000, where 3 years of doing the work earns you real say over how it gets done.

Key Responsibilities

Ensure all deliverables meet brand, accessibility, and platform standards

Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline

Frame the design rationale so mid-level approvers feel smart agreeing with you

Reconcile legal's caveats with a layout that still breathes

Deliver pixel-perfect, production-ready files to engineering and print teams

Build the low-drama pitch deck that wins the $72,000 - $100,000 account in the room

Push fast-moving design directions far enough to feel new, close enough to feel us

Interrogate a brief until the real ask underneath it surfaces

What You'll Bring

Hands-on familiarity with Sketch, sharpened by Analytical Thinking side projects

An agile attitude and eagerness to learn new skills

Ability to learn new creative systems quickly and apply them effectively

At least 4 years of standing behind your own estimates

Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level

Thoughtfully-bold problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission

Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny

The gently-demanding founders of Nordstrom built it in Denver to fix the exact creative problems that drove them crazy elsewhere. Growth budgets at Nordstrom are generous because a sharper User Journey Mapping you means a stronger team.

What sits behind the $72,000 - $100,000 offer is a Nordstrom culture built on real mentorship, generous benefits, and schedules that bend toward family.

Live and listening, the hiring team reads new applications as they arrive.
