Freelance Brand Motion Designer - Performance Marketing/Social (Philippines)
Freelance motion work at Canva is a decent portfolio builder, but the contract nature and Manila-based positioning suggest this is more of a production role than a creative leadership opportunity. Nice brand to have on the resume.
