Illustrator & Motion Graphics Artist Job at Nurse Well Versed in New York

Nurse Well Versed® creates visual educational resources designed to help nursing students understand complex concepts, retain information, and succeed throughout nursing school.
We’re expanding our educational video content and looking for an illustrator and motion graphics artist who can bring nursing concepts to life through thoughtful visual storytelling.
Our videos combine original illustrations, diagrams, and purposeful animation to explain how things work. We prioritize educational clarity and strong visual communication over elaborate character animation.
About the role

We’re looking for someone who can take a written nursing script and independently develop the visual concepts needed to communicate it effectively.
You’ll lead the creative process from conceptualization and storyboarding through illustration and final animation.
For example, if a script explains how fluid moves between different compartments in the body, you’ll determine how to visually represent that process in a way that helps nursing students understand what’s happening.
Our team will provide scripts, creative feedback, and clinical review to ensure nursing accuracy. However, we’re looking for someone who can take initiative, propose visual solutions, and thoughtfully approach unfamiliar concepts without needing every scene mapped out.
Projects will include both short-form and long-form educational videos, with opportunities for ongoing work as we expand our content.
What you’ll do

* Review educational scripts and identify concepts that would benefit from visual explanations.
* Research unfamiliar topics to develop informed visual ideas and identify questions for our nursing team.
* Develop visual concepts and storyboards that complement the script.
* Create original illustrations, educational diagrams, and motion graphics.
* Use visual comparisons, analogies, and metaphors when appropriate to communicate complex concepts.
* Animate illustrations and graphics with purposeful movement that supports learning.
* Incorporate feedback related to educational clarity, clinical accuracy, and visual style.
* Collaborate with our team, communicate progress, and meet agreed-upon deadlines.
* Help establish a consistent visual style across our educational videos.
Who we’re looking for

You have a strong illustration portfolio and experience creating animated or motion graphics content. More importantly, you enjoy understanding how things work and finding creative ways to communicate that information visually.
We’re especially interested in someone who can combine artistic skills with curiosity, critical thinking, and independent problem-solving.
You should be comfortable with:
* Developing original visual concepts from written scripts.
* Creating storyboards, illustrations, and educational diagrams.
* Producing limited animation and motion graphics.
* Breaking down complex information into clear, accurate visual explanations.
* Timing animation and visual transitions to voiceover narration.
* Working independently while collaborating with a team and incorporating feedback.
Experience in nursing, anatomy, biology, medical illustration, or science education is a plus, but not required.
We’re open to candidates without a scientific background who demonstrate a strong ability and willingness to research unfamiliar topics and translate them into effective visual explanations.
What success looks like

Your illustrations and animations do more than accompany the narration. They actively help students understand the concepts being taught.
You can approach an unfamiliar script, identify opportunities for visual explanations, and develop thoughtful storyboards that give our team a strong starting point for review.
As our collaboration develops, you’re able to take projects from initial concept through finished animation with increasing independence.
