About Anja Failer:

 


Design inspires me because it is the fastest way of communication and I am following the credo:
"Design an interface as it is a charming person you'd like to know."

Work Experience

ProSiebenSat.1 Accelerator (Mentor UX, Munich, GER)

In pitch events investors from the Silicon Valley often claim: "I invest 1Mio USD if you have an expert in UX in your team!" So we tried to boost the UX know-how of the start-ups which were accepted to the accelerator programme.


ProSiebenSat.1 Games GmbH (User Experience Design, Munich, GER)

Web applications become progressively more complex. This makes user experience design urgent. At ProSiebenSat1 Games I created tests to verify design decisions. I worked at concepts and designs as well as system architecture and prototypes. Within the team we optimized the web sites to generate more clicks, for good SEO and for happy clients and eventually increased revenue.


ProSiebenSat.1 TV Deutschland GmbH (Art Direction, Munich, GER)

In the highly creative environment of Creative Solution (in-house agency) I created 360° communication concepts, managed design and production processes, held presentations, won pitches and created good commercials.


Self-relianced Freelancer for concepts and creation.(GER)

The mixture of my gently manner, professional behavior and creative rock'n'roll style makes my clients happy. In self-governance I managed design projects since 2008.

Further I worked for:
buro ecco (Communication Design, Augsburg, GER)
nowcom.de (Full service agency for fashion brands. Augsburg, Ger)

digital alchemy entertainment (Intern, Vancouver, CAN)

Whether 3Studio Max, Cinema4D, AVID or Nuke, during my internship in Vancouver I learned the basics and the flavour of the great north american film industry. Where we produced Special FX for the movie Avatar or created the cartoon Zigby, which was distributed world wide.
