ANIMATION•ARTIST
About ZOA
ZOA Studio is an international architectural visualization studio with 19 years of expertise specializing in animations. We’ve worked with some of the biggest names in architecture, like Gensler, Snøhetta, UNStudio, and Zaha Hadid. We’re based in Budapest and Valencia, and we’re all about bringing architecture and design to the masses in the coolest way possible.
But here’s the thing—we’re not just about creating wonderful animations and images. We’re about making friends here. And our team is filled with some of the most social, fun-loving people you’ll ever meet. We’re artists and creators, but we’re also movie fans, creative enthusiasts, and CGI lovers. And we love nothing more than grabbing lunch together or having a drink after work.
So, if you’re an ANIMATION ARTIST with an easy-going personality that’ll fit in with our diverse, multicultural team, we want to hear from you!

How to apply?
Email your CV and Cover Mail to [email protected]. Include your Portfolio with links to your animations, showreel, or YouTube channel, compiled in a *.PDF smaller than 5 Mbs.

Pro tips
We’re pretty much visually driven and encourage you to consider the following: “A portfolio is only as good as the worst image or animation in it.”
Select only your best images and animations that sum up who you are and make sure to include links. If you were part of a team, please highlight your tasks in each of your projects.
100-page-long portfolios are surprisingly easy to misjudge. Make sure your portfolio is compact and expresses yourself in a focused, condensed manner.
