Motion Designer Needed to Create a Custom AI Orb Animation (Loop)

We're looking for a Motion Designer to create an AI orb animation for our product. The animation will be used to indicate that our AI is actively processing user data (similar to a loading or thinking state). What We're Looking For We currently have an orb animation, but we've received feedback that it looks too similar to Apple's older Siri animation. We'd like something that feels more unique and recognizable while maintaining a premium AI aesthetic. The animation should: Be a seamless, perfect loop Feel alive and intelligent, not like a traditional loading spinner Use our existing color palette (to be provided) Be visually distinctive from Apple's Siri animation Work well on both light and dark backgrounds We're open to exploring different visual directions as long as the final result feels modern, polished, and aligned with an AI-first product. Inspiration We particularly like these motion references: https://dribbble.com/shots/22889013-AI-Motion-Visual https://dribbble.com/shots/22984505-AI-Orb-Motion-Visual These are for inspiration only—we're looking for an original animation, not a copy.
