Hi Andrew! I'm the motion designer who's been working with Allison to bring these illustrations to life! Your question about how we get these animations has been a common one, and I always wonder how to tell people without overwhelming them about the software I use (Adobe After Effects). Because it's a pretty "from scratch" type of thing.
But I was thinking today about some great resources out there for After Effects templates that are pretty easy to use. Videohive.net is a great place to get After Effects Animated assets that have most of the work done for you. I just found this set of 40 animated business icons

Thanks for your high praise, it made my day!
