What Do You Really Think? State of Design Survey 2026

The motion design and animation universe changes fast — new tools, new demands, new opportunities. We want to understand how these shifts affect the artists, studios, and production teams who make the work happen.

The State of Motion Survey captures your experiences in 2025.

For instance:
• What’s been the most challenging part of your work this year?
• What’s been the most rewarding?
• How are AI, budgets, and client expectations reshaping the field?
 
 


 
The survey takes less than 5 minutes, and by sharing your perspectives and insights, you’ll help Stash highlight the real issues and trends shaping our industry — and ensure the community has an authentic record of where we stand in 2026.

Thanks in advance for helping us keep the global motion design and animation community informed and inspired.
