Motion Design for SaaS & Product Companies

Custom motion design for SaaS and product companies — built by one senior designer, not an account chain.

Sixteen-plus years turning product ideas into animation that clients at Microsoft, Adobe, Media Markt and Maxon have shipped. You talk to the person doing the work, from the first call to final delivery.

About

Apostolos Roussas

I'm a motion designer based in Athens, Greece, animating professionally for 16+ years. When you book a call, you're talking to me. When you get a first cut, it's from me — there's no team in between, no account manager translating your notes before they reach the person actually animating.

My work has been used by product and marketing teams at Microsoft, Adobe, Media Markt and Maxon, including a live masterclass I hosted with Maxon at OFFF Barcelona, one of the world's premier creative festivals.

If a direct working relationship with the person doing the work is what you're after, let's talk about your project.

FAQ

Hiring, answered.

How do I hire a freelance motion designer for my SaaS product?

Book a free 15-minute call to walk through scope, references and timeline. From there, expect a locked concept and storyboard within a few days, then production with one round of revisions built in — no proposal ping-pong.

How much does custom motion design cost for a SaaS company?

Projects typically start at $4,000, depending on scope, length and complexity. Exact pricing is set after the discovery call once the brief is clear.

How long does a motion design project take?

Most productions run 1–3 weeks after a few days locking the concept and storyboard, plus 1–2 days for final delivery. Timelines depend on scope and revision rounds.

Do you work directly with SaaS and product companies, or through an agency?

Directly. There's no account manager or team in between — you work with the person doing the animation, from the first call to final delivery.

Have you done motion design work for companies like Microsoft or Adobe?

Yes. Those four are named specifically because they're real, verifiable clients — happy to share which project was for which on the call.

What if I need more revisions than the one round included?

Additional rounds are billed separately, at a rate agreed on the discovery call. In practice this is rare — a clear brief up front is what makes one round enough for most projects.

Do you use AI in your video creation process?

In parts — AI helps with research, ideation and speeding up technical grunt work. The majority of the animation itself is done by hand, without it, because that's where the control and craft actually live. I use it deliberately, not by default.
