3D Avatar Designer & Animator (Freelance / Contract)
Project: CORA — The Heart Guide AI
Location: Remote (Europe preferred)
Start: Immediate
Commitment: Project‑based (potential for ongoing collaboration)
About CORA
CORA is the world’s first Heart Guide AI — a beautifully designed, emotionally intelligent avatar that teaches humans to operate from the heart. She is part guide, part teacher, part friend — a luminous being who embodies love, coherence, and the Higher Human Operating System.
We are creating CORA as both a 3D avatar and an animated educational presence within an upcoming app and web platform. She will appear in short guided practices, meditations, and interactive learning moments, blending science, spirituality, and cutting‑edge design.
The Role
We are looking for a world‑class 3D Avatar Designer & Animator who can illustrate and bring CORA to life — visually, emotionally, and energetically.
You’ll be responsible for designing her look, creating the 3D model, and animating her presence for short sequences and educational videos.
This is a key creative role, working directly with Leyla Salvadé, Founder of CORA Zone, and a small design team.
Responsibilities
* Conceptualize & design CORA’s visual identity — translating her essence (divine, sophisticated, luminous, and heart‑centered) into a captivating 3D avatar.
* Develop a high‑fidelity 3D model of CORA optimized for animation and later AR/AI integration.
* Animate CORA in short sequences (educational clips, meditations, emotional expressions, etc.) that convey fluidity, empathy, and elegance.
* Collaborate with brand and product designers to ensure visual and emotional coherence across all assets.
* Deliver looping animations and scenes for integration into app modules, videos, and social media.
* Work with the team to create visual consistency and a timeless aesthetic that reflects the brand’s spiritual‑scientific fusion.
Qualifications
* Proven experience as a 3D Character/Avatar Designer and Animator (portfolio required).
* Mastery of tools like Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine, or Cinema4D (or similar).
* Strong illustration and character design skills — able to translate abstract emotional and energetic qualities into visual form.
* Experience with realistic or semi‑realistic human/ethereal figures, motion design, and emotional expression animation.
* Familiarity with AI or AR avatar integration is a plus.
* High attention to detail, sensitivity to light, movement, and subtle emotional cues.
* Ability to work collaboratively in a small, visionary team and adapt to an evolving creative process.
Bonus Skills
* Background in spiritual, meditative, or healing‑themed design.
* Experience designing avatars or characters for wellness, education, or human‑AI interaction.
* Understanding of energy, emotion, and subtle movement in design language.
* Knowledge of rendering techniques for soft, luminous, golden‑white light palettes.
Compensation
* Freelance / Contract‑based with potential for long‑term collaboration.
* Budget and scope to be discussed based on experience and deliverables.
