About Maison No.3

Maison No.3 is a French-inspired creative house dedicated to building brands of enduring value.

Working at the intersection of strategy, design, technology, communication, and culture, the Maison partners with founders, businesses, and institutions to create identities, experiences, and systems that leave a lasting impression.

Everything we build is guided by clarity of thought, precision in execution, and a deep respect for craftsmanship. We believe great work is never accidental; it is intentional, disciplined, and thoughtfully considered.

Position Overview

Maison No.3 is seeking a Motion Architect to define how our brands are experienced through moving image.

What You'll Find at the Maison Maison No.3 is not a production agency.

It is a House where strategy, design, technology, communication, and image exist as one integrated discipline. You will work alongside strategists, designers, editors, developers, writers, marketers, and founders to create work that aspires to remain relevant long after it has been published.

We value curiosity over ego, ownership over supervision, and excellence over convenience.

If you believe that moving images should do more than capture attention; that they should build meaning—we would be delighted to meet you.
