Senior TouchDesigner Expert - Part-time - Worldwide

About the Project

We’re seeking a senior-level TouchDesigner expert to support an upcoming interactive art installation led by artist Samantha Lee. The project involves immersive visual design and real-time data interaction, with the first major deliverable due in 6 weeks. This is a freelance contract role with a 4–5 month timeline and strong potential for creative and technical ownership.

What You’ll Do

• Develop and implement interactive visual elements using TouchDesigner.
• Collaborate closely with the artist to bring an abstract, immersive concept to life.
• Provide technical documentation and guidance to support future scalability or maintenance.
• Optionally integrate other tools such as 3.js, Unity, or Unreal if needed.
• Contribute expertise and mentorship to help streamline the build process and ensure high-quality output.

Ideal Candidate

• Senior-level experience in TouchDesigner, ideally with a portfolio of interactive installations or digital art.
• Familiarity with the creative technology space (e.g., inspired by Refik Anadol's work or similar).
• Ability to work independently while maintaining strong communication with non-technical stakeholders.
• Bonus skills in 3.js, Unity, or Unreal Engine.
• Comfortable with flexible working hours (client works evenings), but able to provide some time overlap for review and walkthroughs.

Nice to Have

• Experience in immersive or generative art projects.
• Strong communication/documentation practices.
• Comfortable mentoring or advising less technical collaborators.
