I'm leading hiring for one of the accounts I handle, a fast growing social g@ming platform. Looking for a Motion Graphics Artist to help scale up animation output across their portfolio.

Main focus is winning and celebration animations, think confetti bursts, c0in reveals, j@ckpot moments, the stuff that makes players feel the payoff. Also some g@meplay showcase and promo animations.

What we need:

• Strong portfolio in motion graphics and animation is a big plus
• Tech stack is Figma, Adobe After Effects, and Creatify, so comfort with these is important
• Cinema 4D or Blender a bonus for 3D work
• Good sense of timing and energy, these need to hit in 1-3 seconds
• Comfortable matching an existing brand style, not just your own
• Can handle high volume output, this is an ongoing role not a one off project

Fully remote. Portfolio review first, then a skill test animation for shortlisted candidates.

Rate: $20-$30/hr
Client: Lucky Day

I never thought I would have to write something like this.

Last Sunday, at NAIA Terminal 3, I found myself standing in a restaurant arguing with a manager because my 8-year-old daughter just wanted to eat.

My daughter has ASD and significant eating difficulties. She has a very limited range of food that she can tolerate, and we are working through this with therapy. If you are a parent of a child with eating difficulties, you know that sometimes getting them to eat is not as simple as saying, “There are other options.”

Because of the storm and our delayed flight, she had already missed lunch.

We bought her a tonkatsu from another restaurant because that was something she could eat.

We then went to Nanyang.

And we ordered.

2 chicken rice
1 laksa fishball
1 kaya toast
1 yuzu
1 honey lemon

We were paying customers. Our daughter was quietly eating her food.

Then a manager approached us and told us we had to leave because Nanyang does not allow outside food and because they are halal certified and could be audited.

I immediately explained that the food was for my daughter. I told them she has ASD and significant eating difficulties.

I explained that this wasn't us casually bringing our own meal into a restaurant. This was our child finally being able to eat after missing lunch.

The response remained that they could not accommodate outside food because they might be audited.

Another manager suggested that we take our daughter's food downstairs to a common area with tables and chairs.

I was already overwhelmed and upset. I told her I didn't need her opinion.

I know I was angry. I know I could have handled parts of that conversation better. I am not pretending I was perfectly calm.

But I was a mother standing there trying to feed my child.

And what hurt me most was that once they knew she was a child with ASD and eating difficulties, I didn't feel like anyone stopped to ask, “How can we handle this?”

It felt like the policy became more important than the child sitting in front of them.

To be clear, I understand that restaurants have rules.

I understand that Nanyang has halal certification and has obligations it needs to follow.

I am not asking a restaurant to compromise its halal requirements.

But I am asking a very simple question:

When a child with a disability has a specific food she can eat, and her parents are already paying customers, is there really no way to consider a reasonable accommodation?

That is the part I cannot let go of.

I have lived and worked in Singapore. I have always associated kopitiam culture with community, practicality and inclusivity. So this experience was particularly heartbreaking for me.

Afterward, I contacted Nanyang because I wanted to resolve this privately.

The branch responded by explaining their halal certification and apologizing “if” their actions or words caused us to feel offended or unwelcome.

But that still didn't answer my main question.

What was considered for my daughter after they knew she had ASD?

What accommodation was considered?

Was there actually a halal requirement that made accommodation impossible, or was the outside-food policy simply enforced without considering her disability?

Those are the questions I am asking.

I am sharing this because I don't want another parent to stand where I stood last Sunday, with a hungry child who has already struggled to eat, being told that the only solution is to take her food somewhere else.

I am not asking people to attack Nanyang.

I am asking for accountability, clarity and compassion.

And as a mother, I hope that maybe this can start a bigger conversation about how establishments handle children with disabilities.

Because sometimes, it isn't about the food.

Sometimes, a mother is just trying to get her child to eat.
